Jeremiah 14:2-6

2 aJudah mourns,
and bher gates languish;
her people lament on the ground,
and cthe 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 dashamed and confounded
and ecover their heads.
4Because of the ground that is dismayed,
since there is fno rain on the land,
the farmers are ashamed;
they cover their heads.
5Even gthe doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.
6 hThe wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
because there is no vegetation.
