Jeremiah 14:1-4

Drought, Famine, Sword 1This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:

2“Judah mourns, her cities languish; they wail for the land, and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.

3The nobles send their servants for water; they go to the cisterns but find no water. They return with their jars unfilled; dismayed and despairing, they cover their heads.

4The ground is cracked because there is no rain in the land; the farmers are dismayed and cover their heads.
