18 How (A)the beasts groan!
    The herds of cattle are perplexed
because there is no pasture for them;
    even the flocks of sheep suffer.[a]

19 To you, (B)O Lord, I call.
(C)For fire has devoured
    the pastures of the wilderness,
(D)and flame has burned
    all the trees of the field.
20 Even the beasts of the field (E)pant for you
    because the water brooks are dried up,
(F)and fire has devoured
    the pastures of the wilderness.

Famine, Sword, and Pestilence

14 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning (A)the drought:

(B)“Judah mourns,
    and (C)her gates languish;
her people lament on the ground,
    and (D)the cry of Jerusalem goes up.
Her nobles send their servants for water;
    they come to the cisterns;
they find no water;
    they return with their vessels empty;
they are (E)ashamed and confounded
    and (F)cover their heads.
Because of the ground that is dismayed,
    since there is (G)no rain on the land,
the farmers are ashamed;
    they cover their heads.
Even (H)the doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn
    because there is no grass.

    they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
    because there is no vegetation.
