Exegesis
In the final clause, the perfect kalu {כָּל֥וּ | kā-lû} ‘failed’ predicates on eineihem {עֵינֵיהֶ֖ם | ʿê-nê-hem} ‘their eyes’, and the causal clause introduced by ki-ein {כִּי־אֵ֥ן | kî-ʾên} ‘because there is no’ presents esev {עֵֽשֶׂב | ʿê-seḇ} ‘grass’ as the drought’s cause. The sequence of perfect verbs and coordinate structure heightens progressive exhaustion under drought.
In context — Jeremiah 14:6
And the wild donkeys stood on the heights; they snuffed the wind like jackals; their eyes failed because there was no grass.
