Jeremiah 14:2-7 Judah mourns and the gates of it languish. They sit in black upon the ground and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Judah mourns and the gates of it languish. They sit in black upon the ground and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up. ³ And their ranking men send their little ones to the waters. They come to the cisterns and find no water. They return with their vessels empty. They are put to shame and confounded and cover their heads, ⁴ because of the ground which is cracked. Because no rain has been in the land, the plowmen are put to shame; they cover their heads. ⁵ Yes, the female-deer also in the field calves and forsakes it because there is no grass. ⁶ And the wild donkeys stand on the bare heights. They pant for air like jackals. Their eyes fail because there is no herbage.
⁷ Though our iniquities testify against us, work you for your name's sake, O Jehovah. For our backslidings are many. We have sinned against you.
