Jeremiah 14:1-4 ▼

1 The word of YHWH that came to Jeremiah concerning the droughts:

2 “Judah mourns, and her gates languish; they mourn for the land, and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.

3 And their nobles have sent their young for water; they went to the cisterns, they did not find water. They returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and humiliated, and they covered their heads.

4 Because the ground is parched, for there was no rain in the land, the plowmen were ashamed; they covered their heads.
