Jeremiah 14:1-4 ▼

1 That which came as the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah in regard to the drought:

2 “Judah mourns, And her gates languish; They sit on the ground in mourning, And the outcry of Jerusalem has gone up.

3 Their mighty ones have sent their underlings for water; They have come to the trenches and found no water. They have returned with their vessels empty; They have been put to shame and dishonored, And they cover their heads.

4 Because the ground is dismayed, For there has been no rain on the land, The farmers have been put to shame; They have covered their heads.
