2 "Judah mourns, and her gates languish, they are in mourning on the ground, and the cry of lament of Jerusalem goes up.
3 And their nobles send their servants for water. They come to the pits, they find no water. They return with their vessels ⌊empty⌋.* They are ashamed, and they are confounded, and they cover their heads.*
4 Because of the ground, which is cracked because there was no rain on the ground. The farmers are ashamed, they cover their heads.*
5 For even the doe in the field gives birth and forsakes her young,* because there is no green growth.
6 And wild asses stand on the barren heights, they gasp for breath like the jackals. Their eyes fail because there is no vegetation."
