1 The Word of the Lord that came to Jeremias concerning the words of the drought. 2 Judea hath mourned, and the gates thereof are fallen, and are become obscure on the ground, and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. 3 The great ones sent their inferiors to the water: they came to draw, they found no water, they carried back their vessels empty: they were confounded and afflicted, and covered their heads. 4 For the destruction of the land, because there came no rain upon the earth, the husbandmen were confounded, they covered their heads. Jeremiah 14:1-4, Douay-Rheims Bible. Public domain.
