Jeremiah 14:1-6

Drought and a Prayer for Mercy

1 That which came as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah regarding the adrought:

2 “Judah mourns
And bher gates languish;
Her people sit on the ground cin mourning garments,
And the dcry of Jerusalem has ascended.
3 “Their nobles have esent their
Lit little ones
servants for water;
They have come to the gcisterns and found no water.
They have returned with their containers empty;
They have been hput to shame and humiliated,
And they icover their heads,
4 Because the jground is
Lit shattered
cracked,
For there has been lno rain on the land.
The mfarmers have been put to shame,
They have covered their heads.
5 “For even the doe in the field has given birth only to abandon her young,
Because there is nno grass.
6 “The owild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
They pant for air like jackals,
Their eyes fail
Because there is pno vegetation.
