^dfor the Lord has spoken this word.
4 ^eThe earth mourns and withers;
the world languishes and withers;
the highest people of the earth languish.

Jeremiah 12:4

The whole land is made desolate,
^jbut no man lays it to heart.

Jeremiah 14:2-6

2 ^k“Judah mourns,
and ^lher gates languish;
her people lament on the ground,
and ^mthe 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 ⁿashamed and confounded
and ^ocover their heads.
4 Because of the ground that is dismayed,
since there is ^pno rain on the land,
the farmers are ashamed;
they cover their heads.
5 Even ^qthe doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.
6 ^rThe wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
because there is no vegetation.

3 Therefore ^sthe land mourns,
and all who dwell in it languish,

and the birds of the heavens,
^uand even the fish of the sea are taken away.

Joel 1:17-20

17 ^vThe seed shrivels under the clods; ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew line is uncertain}
the storehouses are desolate;
the granaries are torn down
because ^xthe grain has dried up.
18 How ^ythe beasts groan!
The herds of cattle are perplexed
because there is no pasture for them;
even the flocks of sheep suffer. ^{▼▼Or are made desolate}
19 To you, ^aaO Lord, I call.
^abFor fire has devoured
the pastures of the wilderness,
^acand flame has burned
all the trees of the field.
20 Even the beasts of the field ^adpant for you
because the water brooks are dried up,
^aeand fire has devoured
the pastures of the wilderness.
