Jeremiah 14:1-6
New King James Version
Sword, Famine, and Pestilence
14 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the droughts.
2 “Judah mourns,
And (A)her gates languish;
They (B)mourn for the land,
And (C)the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
3 Their nobles have sent their lads for water;
They went to the cisterns and found no water.
They returned with their vessels empty;
They were (D)ashamed and confounded
(E)And covered their heads.
4 Because the ground is parched,
For there was (F)no rain in the land,
The plowmen were ashamed;
They covered their heads.
5 Yes, the deer also gave birth in the field,
But [a]left because there was no grass.
6 And (G)the wild donkeys stood in the desolate heights;
They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
Their eyes failed because there was no grass.”

Jeremiah 14:1-6
Authorized (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 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.
