Joel 1:20 continues the scene with beasts panting for dried-up brooks — directly parallels the cattle's bewilderment here for lack of pasture.

Joel 2:22 reverses the scene: beasts no longer fear because pastures are restored — direct contrast to the groaning in v18.

1 Kings 18:5 recounts searching for grass to save horses during drought — a similar situation of desperate need for pasture for livestock.

Jeremiah 12:4 laments the land mourning and grass withering because of evil, with beasts swept away — echoes the suffering of cattle here.

Jeremiah 14:5 describes a doe deserting her fawn because there is no grass — the same animal suffering from drought as in Joel.

Jeremiah 14:6 depicts wild donkeys on bare heights panting for air with no vegetation — identical imagery of beasts lacking pasture.

Hosea 4:3 says the land mourns and beasts, birds, and fish perish — judgment causing animal and ecological distress like Joel.

Deuteronomy 11:15 promises grass for livestock as a blessing for obedience — contrasting with Joel's lack of pasture as judgment.

Romans 8:22 says the whole creation groans in childbirth pains — Paul extends Joel's groaning beasts to all creation awaiting redemption.

Job 6:5 asks if a wild donkey brays when it has grass — implying animals only complain when lacking food, as Joel shows.

Haggai 1:10 explains drought withholding fruit — the same cause as the lack of pasture in Joel. Both link judgment to agricultural failure.

Romans 8:20 describes creation subjected to futility — a broader theological parallel to the groaning of animals in Joel. Both personify creation's distress.
