* Judah mourneth , and the gates thereof languish ; they are black unto the ground ; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up . * And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters : they came to the pits , and found no water ; they returned with their vessels empty ; they were ashamed and confounded , and covered their heads ro #sh #. * Because the ground is chapt , for there was no rain in the earth , the plowmen were ashamed , they covered their heads ro #sh #. * 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 . * O LORD , though our iniquities testify against us , do thou it for thy names sake : for our backslidings are many ; we have sinned against thee . * O the hope of Israel Yisra #el #, the saviour thereof in time of trouble , why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land , and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night ?
