Jeremiah 14:1-3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 14
The Great Drought. 1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:(A)
2 Judah mourns,
her gates are lifeless;
They are bowed to the ground,
and the outcry of Jerusalem goes up.(B)
3 The nobles send their servants for water,
but when they come to the cisterns
They find no water
and return with empty jars.(C)
Confounded, despairing, they cover their heads
