Jeremiah 14:1-6

Famine, Sword, and Pestilence

1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning ^kthe drought:

2 ^l“Judah mourns,
and ^mher gates languish;
her people lament on the ground,
and ⁿthe cry of Jerusalem goes up.
3 Her nobles send their servants for water;
they come to the cisterns;
they find no water;
they return with their vessels empty;
they are ^oashamed and confounded
and ^pcover their heads.
4 Because of the ground that is dismayed,
since there is ^qno rain on the land,
the farmers are ashamed;
they cover their heads.
5 Even ^rthe doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.
6 ^sThe wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
because there is no vegetation.

Amos 4:7

7 “I also ^twithheld the rain from you
when there were yet three months to the harvest;
^uI would send rain on one city,
and send no rain on another city;
one field would have rain,
and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
