Jeremiah 14

² “Judah mourns and her gates languish. Her people wail for the land, and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.

³ The nobles send their servants for water; they go to the cisterns, but find no water; their jars return empty. They are ashamed and humiliated; they cover their heads.

⁴ The ground is cracked because no rain has fallen on the land. The farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.

⁵ Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawn because there is no grass.

⁶ Wild donkeys stand on barren heights; they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail for lack of pasture.”
