Those who do work on the land are in fear, for there has been no rain on the land, and the farmers are shamed, covering their heads.

because the ground is cracked. Because there has been no rain on the land the farmers are dismayed; they cover their heads.

Because the ground is parched, For there was no rain in the land, The plowmen were ashamed; They covered their heads.

They are dismayed because the ground is cracked ¹  because there has been no rain in the land. The farmers, too, are dismayed and bury their faces in their hands.

¹ tn For the use of the verb “is cracked” here see BDB 369 s.v. חָתַת Qal.1 and compare the usage in Jer 51:56 where it refers to broken bows. The form is a relative clause without relative pronoun (cf., GKC 486-87 §155.f). The sentence as a whole is related to the preceding through a particle meaning “because of” or “on account of.” Hence the subject and verb have been repeated to make the connection.
