and her gates languish;
they lie in gloom on the ground,
and the cry of Jerusalem goes up.(B)
3 Her[a] nobles send their servants for water;
they come to the cisterns;
they find no water;
they return with their vessels empty.
They are ashamed and dismayed
and cover their heads,(C)

Because there has been no rain on the land,
the farmers are dismayed;
they cover their heads.(D)

because there is no grass.

they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
because there is no herbage.(E)
