Their nobles have (A)sent their [a]servants for water;
They have come to the (B)cisterns and found no water.
They have returned with their containers empty;
They have been (C)put to shame and humiliated,
And they (D)cover their heads,
Because the (E)ground is [b]cracked,
For there has been (F)no rain on the land.
The (G)farmers have been put to shame,
They have covered their heads.
For even the doe in the field has given birth only to abandon her young,
Because there is (H)no grass.
The (I)wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
They pant for air like jackals,
Their eyes fail
Because there is (J)no vegetation.

Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.

Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.

And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.
