4. “Because the ground became cracked, for there has been no rain in the land. The ploughmen were put to shame, they covered their heads.
5. “Even the deer gave birth in the field, but left because there was no grass.
6. “And wild donkeys stood in the bare heights, they sniffed at the wind like jackals. Their eyes have failed because there was no grass.”
7. O יהוה, though our crookednesses witness against us, act, for Your Name’s sake. For our backslidings have been many, we have sinned against You.
