- The mourning: They will wear sackcloth and cry and shave their heads in mourning for their country.
- Their cry will be heard for some distance.
- No water or vegetation in the country: There will be no water in the country due to pollution of the blood of those slain and this will cause all the vegetation to dry up and vanish.
