3And their nobles have sent htheir little ones to the waters:
They came to the pits, and found no water;
They returned with their vessels empty;
iThey were ashamed and confounded, and kcovered their heads.
4Because the ground is chapt,
For lthere was no rain in the earth,
The plowmen were ashamed, kthey covered their heads.
5Yea, mthe hind also calved in the field, and forsook it,
Because there was no grass.
6And nthe wild asses did stand in the high places,
nThey snuffed up the wind like odragons;
Their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Her 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 confounded
and cover their heads.
Because of the ground that is dismayed,
since there is no rain on the land,
the farmers are ashamed;
they cover their heads.
Even the doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.
The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
because there is no vegetation.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
The nobles send their servants for water;
they go to the cisterns
but find no water.
They return with their jars unfilled;
dismayed and despairing,
they cover their heads.
The ground is cracked
because there is no rain in the land;
the farmers are dismayed
and cover their heads.
Even the doe in the field
deserts her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.
Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights
and pant like jackals;
their eyes fail
for lack of food.”

Their nobles send their servants for water.
They go to the cisterns;
they find no water;
their containers return empty.
They are ashamed and humiliated;
they cover their heads.
The ground is cracked
since no rain has fallen on the land.
The farmers are ashamed;
they cover their heads.
Even the doe in the field
gives birth and abandons her fawn
since there is no grass.
Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights
panting for air like jackals.
Their eyes fail
because there are no green plants.

NLTNew Living Translation
The nobles send servants to get water,
but all the wells are dry.
The servants return with empty pitchers,
confused and desperate,
covering their heads in grief.
The ground is parched
and cracked for lack of rain.
The farmers are deeply troubled;
they, too, cover their heads.
Even the doe abandons her newborn fawn
because there is no grass in the field.
The wild donkeys stand on the bare hills
panting like thirsty jackals.
They strain their eyes looking for grass,
but there is none to be found.”

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.
Because of the ground, which is cracked
because there was no rain on the ground.
The farmers are ashamed,
they cover their heads.
For even the doe in the field gives birth and forsakes her young,
because there is no green growth.
And wild asses stand on the barren heights,
they gasp for breath like the jackals.
Their eyes fail
because there is no vegetation.”
