Jeremiah 14:2-6

2“Judah wilts; commerce at the city gates grinds to a halt. All the people sit on the ground in mourning, and a great cry rises from Jerusalem.

3The nobles send servants to get water, but all the wells are dry. The servants return with empty pitchers, confused and desperate, covering their heads in grief.

4The ground is parched and cracked for lack of rain. The farmers are deeply troubled; they, too, cover their heads.

5Even the doe abandons her newborn fawn because there is no grass in the field.

6The wild donkeys stand on the bare hills panting like thirsty jackals. They strain their eyes looking for grass, but there is none to be found.”
