LXX2012(i)
2 Judea has mourned, and her gates are emptied, and are darkened upon the earth; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
3 And her nobles have sent their little ones to the water: they came to the wells, and found no water: and brought back their vessels empty.
4 And the labors of the land failed, because there was no rain: the husbandmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
5 And hinds calved in the field, and forsook [it], because there was no grass.
6 The wild asses stood by the forests, and snuffed up the wind; their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
7 Our sins have risen up against us: O Lord, do you for us for your own sake; for our sins are many before you; for we have sinned against you.
8 O Lord, [you are] the hope of Israel, and deliver [us] in time of troubles; why are you become as a sojourner upon the land, or as one born in the land, yet turning aside for a resting-place?
