They have returned with their vessels empty; They have been put to shame and humiliated, And they cover their heads. (NASB ©1995) GWT: Important people send their assistants out for water. They go to the cisterns, but they don't find any water. They come back with their containers empty. They cover their heads, because they are ashamed and disgraced.

They have been ashamed, And have blushed and covered their head. | |
