Old TestamentJeremiahA Great Drought in Judah · 14:1–614:1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.14:2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.14:3 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.14:4 Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.14:5 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.14:6 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.
