2 They teach man to pray, or call upon man to call upon God; for they cry to God, they observe their morning prayer before they break their fast (as I may speak) the Ravens forget it not, Psa. 147.9. He giveth to the Beast his food, and to the young Ravens which cry; this cry is made to God, for Joh 38.41. who provideth for the Ravens his food, when his young ones cry unto God; they are no sooner hatched, but they cry unto God: (Oh man then remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth.) All the creatures do the like, Psa. 104.27, 28. they all wait upon thee, that thou mayst give them their meat in due season; yea, beside their waiting, they petition too, Psa. 145.15, 16. Thou satisfiest the desire of every living thing: Now if thou be a prayerless, or (as before) a distrustful person, these creatures witness against thy sin, for they teach thee to pray and trust.
