Jeremiah 14:1-6

Famine, Sword, and Pestilence

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

2 bJudah mourns,
and cher gates languish;
her people lament on the ground,
and dthe cry of Jerusalem goes up.
3Her nobles send their servants for water;
they come to the cisterns;
they find no water;
they return with their vessels empty;
they are eashamed and confounded
and fcover their heads.
4Because of the ground that is dismayed,
since there is gno rain on the land,
the farmers are ashamed;
they cover their heads.
5Even hthe doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.
6 iThe wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
because there is no vegetation.
