Jeremiah 14:1-6 NIV

[1] This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought: [2] “Judah mourns, her cities languish; they wail for the land, and a cry goes up from Jerusalem. [3] The nobles send their servants for water; they go to the cisterns but find no water. They return with their jars unfilled; dismayed and despairing, they cover their heads. [4] The ground is cracked because there is no rain in the land; the farmers are dismayed and cover their heads. [5] Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawn because there is no grass. [6] Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights and pant like jackals; their eyes fail for lack of food.”
