God, the Universal Provider

Commentators explain that this verse portrays God as the master of a cosmic household, sustaining every living creature. From the largest sea monster to the smallest insect, all are completely dependent on Him for their daily food. This isn't just a poetic idea; it reflects the reality that all life would cease without God's constant, active provision.
