search for water and not find it.
When the throats are dry from thirst
I God shall answer their prayers.
I God of Israel shall not abandon those people.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “The poor and the needy will search for water,
but will not be able to find water anywhere,
their tongues will be dry from thirst.
But I, the LORD, will answer them.
I, the God of Israel, will not abandon them. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “When my poor people will-look for water, and they could not find and their throat will-parch/dry from thirst, I the LORD will-help them; I the God of Israel will- not -reject them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
