and her gates languish;

her people lament on the ground,

they are ashamed and confounded

and cover their heads.

her cities languish;

they wail for the land,

They return with their jars unfilled;

dismayed and despairing,

they cover their heads.

“Judah wilts;

commerce at the city gates grinds to a halt.

The servants return with empty pitchers,

confused and desperate,

covering their heads in grief.

They are ashamed, and they are confounded,

and they cover their heads.

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.
