²³ And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.

¹⁹ And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

14 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.

² Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

³ And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.

⁴ Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.

⁵ Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.

⁶ And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.

⁷ And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

² And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.
