SCRIPTURE

"Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, mine anger and my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched." — Jeremiah 7:20 (ASV)

Upon man, and upon beast - All creation in some mysterious way shares in man’s fall and restoration (Romans 8:19–22).
