Jeremiah 14:1-7

1The wordH1697 of Jehovah that came to JeremiahH3414 concerning the drought.

2JudahH3063 mourneth, and the gatesH8179 thereof languishH535, they sit in black upon the groundH776; and the cry of JerusalemH3389 is goneH5927 up. 3And their noblesH117 sendH7971 their little onesH6810 to the watersH4325: they comeH935 to the cisterns, and findH4672 no waterH4325; they returnH7725 with their vesselsH3627 emptyH7387; they are putH954 to shameH954 and confounded, and coverH2645 their headsH7218. 4Because of the groundH776 which is cracked, for that no rainH1653 hath beenH1961 in the landH776, the plowmen are putH954 to shameH954, they coverH2645 their headsH7218. 5Yea, the hind alsoH1571 in the fieldH7704 calveth, and forsaketh her young, because there is no grassH1877. 6And the wildH6501 asses standH5975 on the bareH8205 heightsH8205, they pant for air like jackalsH8577; their eyesH5869 failH3615, because there is no herbage.

7Though our iniquitiesH5771 testifyH6030 against us, work thou for thy name’sH8034 sakeH4616, O Jehovah; for our backslidings are manyH7231; we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
