^kthe ground mourns,
because ^lthe grain is destroyed,
^mthe wine dries up,
the oil languishes.
11 ⁿBe ashamed, ^{▼▼The Hebrew words for dry up and be ashamed in verses 10–12, 17 sound alike} O tillers of the soil;

the granaries are torn down
because ^tthe grain has dried up.
18 How ^uthe beasts groan!
The herds of cattle are perplexed
because there is no pasture for them;
even the flocks of sheep suffer. ^{▼▼Or are made desolate}
19 To you, ^wO Lord, I call.
^xFor fire has devoured
the pastures of the wilderness,
^yand flame has burned
all the trees of the field.
20 Even the beasts of the field ^zpant for you
because the water brooks are dried up,
^aaand fire has devoured
the pastures of the wilderness.
