Jeremiah 14:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 “Judah mourns
And (A)her gates languish;
They sit on the ground (B)in mourning,
And the (C)cry of Jerusalem has ascended.
3 “Their nobles have (D)sent their [a]servants for water;
They have come to the (E)cisterns and found no water.
They have returned with their vessels empty;
They have been (F)put to shame and humiliated,
And they (G)cover their heads.
4 “Because the (H)ground is [b]cracked,
For there has been (I)no rain on the land;
The (J)farmers have been put to shame,
They have covered their heads.

New International Version
2 “Judah mourns,(A)
her cities languish;
they wail for the land,
and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.
3 The nobles send their servants for water;
they go to the cisterns
but find no water.(B)
They return with their jars unfilled;
dismayed and despairing,
they cover their heads.(C)
4 The ground is cracked
because there is no rain in the land;(D)
the farmers are dismayed
and cover their heads.
