Jeremiah 14:1-6

21st Century King James Version

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 chapped, 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 stood in the high places; they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes failed, because there was no grass.”
