Jeremiah 14:2-4

Revised Standard Version

² “Judah mourns
    and her gates languish;
her people lament on the ground,
    and the cry of Jerusalem goes up.
³ Her nobles send their servants for water;
    they come to the cisterns,
they find no water,
    they return with their vessels empty;
they are ashamed and confounded
    and cover their heads.
⁴ Because of the ground which is dismayed,
    since there is no rain on the land,
the farmers are ashamed,
    they cover their heads.
