Jeremiah 14:1–6
Drought and a Prayer for Mercy
1 That which came as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah in regard to the adrought:
And aher gates languish;
They sit on the ground bin mourning,
And the ccry of Jerusalem has ascended.
3 “Their nobles have asent their 1servants for water;
They have come to the bcisterns and found no water.
They have returned with their vessels empty;
They have been cput to shame and humiliated,
And they dcover their heads.
4 “Because the aground is 1cracked,
For there has been bno rain on the land;
The cfarmers have been put to shame,
They have covered their heads.
5 “For even the doe in the field has given birth only to abandon her young,
Because there is ano grass.
6 “The awild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
They pant for air like jackals,
Their eyes fail
For there is bno vegetation.
