No one prepares the ground for crops.[a]
    No rain falls on the land.
The farmers are depressed.
    So they cover their heads from shame.
Even the mother deer in the field leaves her newborn baby alone,
    because there is no grass.
Wild donkeys stand on the bare hills.
    They sniff the wind like jackals.
But their eyes cannot find any food,
    because there are no plants to eat.
