Jeremiah 14:2-4

Lexham English Bible

² “Judah mourns, and her gates languish,
    they are in mourning on the ground,
    and the cry of lament of Jerusalem goes up.
³ And their nobles send their servants for water.
    They come to the pits, they find no water.
They return with their vessels empty.^[a]
    They are ashamed, and they are confounded,
    and they cover their heads.^[b]
4 Because of the ground, which is cracked
    because there was no rain on the ground.
The farmers are ashamed,
    they cover their heads.^[c]
