14The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought: ²Judah mourns and her gates languish; they lie in gloom on the ground, and the 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 ashamed and dismayed and cover their heads, ⁴because the ground is cracked. Because there has been no rain on the land the farmers are dismayed; they cover their heads. ⁵Even the doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn because there is no grass. ⁶The wild asses stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail because there is no herbage.
