² “Judah mourns,
And ^(A)her gates languish;
They ^(B)mourn for the land,
And ^(C)the 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 ^(D)ashamed and confounded
^(E)And covered their heads.
