grass:

Psalms 104:14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
Jeremiah 14:5-6 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook [it], because there was no grass. ... And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because [there was] no grass.
Joel 1:18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
Joel 2:22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
Habakkuk 3:17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither [shall] fruit [be] in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and [there shall be] no herd in the stalls:
Romans 8:20-22 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope, ... For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

we lose not all the beasts:
Heb. we cut not off ourselves from the beasts
