green pastures
Verdant grazing fields
Green pastures are fields of lush grass for grazing livestock.
The phrase carries strong biblical associations from Psalm 23: The Lord is my shepherd... He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
This gives the expression a figurative sense of peace, abundance, and divine provision.
To seek greener pastures is to pursue better opportunities elsewhere.
