And cthe cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
3 Their nobles have sent their lads for water;
They went to the cisterns and found no water.
They returned with their vessels empty;
They were aashamed and confounded
bAnd covered their heads.
They went to the cisterns and found no water.
They returned with their vessels empty;
They were aashamed and confounded

They covered their heads.
6 And athe wild donkeys stood in the desolate heights;
They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
Their eyes failed because there was no grass.”
They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
Their eyes failed because there was no grass.”
7 O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us,
Do it afor Your name’s sake;
For our backslidings are many,
We have sinned against You.
Do it afor Your name’s sake;
For our backslidings are many,
We have sinned against You.
8 aO the Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble,
Why should You be like a stranger in the land,
And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
Why should You be like a stranger in the land,
And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
