14. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man. Grass grows as well as herbs, for cattle
must be fed as well as humans. That he may bring forth food out of the earth. Both grass for cattle and corn for humans are food brought forth out
of the earth, and they are signs that is was God’s design that the very dust
beneath our feet, which seems better adapted to bury us than to sustain us,
should actually be transformed into the staff of life. The more we think of
this the more wonderful it will appear. How great is that God who from among
the sepulchres finds the support of life, and out of the ground which was
cursed brings forth the blessings of corn and wine and oil.
