As water evaporates from a lake and a river disappears in drought,

海中的水绝尽，江河消散干涸。

海中的水枯竭，江河消散干涸。

海中的水枯竭，江河消散干涸。

湖水会枯竭，江河会干涸，

海洋中的水消失，江河枯竭干涸，

海中的水絕盡，江河消散乾涸。

海中的水枯竭，江河消散乾涸。

海中的水枯竭，江河消散乾涸。

湖水會枯竭，江河會乾涸，

海洋中的水消失，江河枯竭乾涸，

湖中的水絕盡，江河旱竭乾涸。

海水竭盡、河涸而乾、

如潦之易竭、如澮之立涸、

沼水盡絕、溪涸而乾、

As the water of a lake dries up or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,

Water dries up from lakes. Riverbeds become empty and dry.

As waters fail from a lake and a river wastes away and dries up,

As water disappears from a lake and a river becomes parched and dry,

As water evaporates from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dried up,

As water disappears from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dries up,

As the waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up;

As water disappears from the sea and a river becomes parched and dry,

[ As] the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:

As water disappears from the sea, or a river drains away and dries up,

As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,

The waters of the Nile will fail to rise and flood the fields. The riverbed will be parched and dry.

My brothers, you have proved as unreliable as a seasonal brook that overflows its banks in the springwhen it is swollen with ice and melting snow.But when the hot weather arrives, the water disappears. The brook vanishes in the heat.The caravans turn aside to be refreshed, but there is nothing to drink, so they die.

Why then does my suffering continue? Why is my wound so incurable? Your help seems as uncertain as a seasonal brook, like a spring that has gone dry.”
