Jeremiah 14:1-6
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh Will Not Listen to Their Cry
14 That which came as the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah in regard to the (A)drought:
2 “Judah mourns,
And (B)her gates languish;
They sit on the ground (C)in mourning,
And the (D)outcry of Jerusalem has gone up.
3 Their mighty ones have (E)sent their [a]underlings for water;
They have come to the (F)trenches and found no water.
They have returned with their vessels empty;
They have been (G)put to shame and dishonored,
And they (H)cover their heads.
4 Because the (I)ground is [b]dismayed,
For there has been (J)no rain on the land,
The (K)farmers have been put to shame;
They have covered their heads.
5 For even the doe in the field has given birth only to forsake her young
Because there is (L)no grass.
6 The (M)wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
They pant for air like jackals;
Their eyes fail
For there is (N)no vegetation.

New International Version
Drought, Famine, Sword
14 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:(A)
2 “Judah mourns,(B)
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.(C)
They return with their jars unfilled;
dismayed and despairing,
they cover their heads.(D)
4 The ground is cracked
because there is no rain in the land;(E)
the farmers are dismayed
and cover their heads.
5 Even the doe in the field
deserts her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.(F)
6 Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights(G)
and pant like jackals;
their eyes fail
for lack of food.”(H)
