Jeremiah 14:1-4 ▼

1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the matters of the scarcities:

2 “Judah has mourned, and her gates have languished, || They have mourned to the earth, || And the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.

3 And their majestic ones have sent their little ones to the water, || They have come to ditches, || They have not found water, || They have turned back—their vessels empty! They have been ashamed, || And have blushed and covered their head.

4 Because the ground has been broken, || For there has been no rain in the land, || Farmers have been ashamed, || They have covered their head.
