Consuming blood, as if watering a halub tree.
The water of his well is diverted.
The child-bearing mother says: "the city, my man, my trustworthy one - defiled."
"Why this destroying?", she says.
On this day: My destruction! On this day: Woe!
The storm has risen and coverd? the water pool in the desert for me.
The shepherd at the pure sheepfold ... weeping.
Pure sheepfold! The shepherd at the pure sheepfold ... weeping.
