“O Lord, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.”
The prayer to the LORD for help and acknowledgment that fire has devoured the pastures and the flame has burned all the trees of the field may reference literal fire accompanying drought or metaphorically describe the devastation. The personification of calamity as fire suggests its consuming nature. This verse represents the turn toward prayer as the response to judgment.
