"The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness" (Joel 1:20).

"Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high" (Job 16:19).

"It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body" (I Corinthians 15:43-44).

"For I delight in the law of God after the inward man" (Romans 7:22).

"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11:3).

The word here for "foundations" is not the usual word for, say, a building foundation. Used rarely, a better translation of this word would be "purpose," or "basis." The fear expressed is not that the foundations of our faith might be undermined, but that we might lose our sense of purpose.
