Jeremiah 14:1-3

Amplified Bible

Drought and a Prayer for Mercy

14 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:

²
“Judah mourns
And her gates languish;
Her people sit on the ground in mourning clothes
And the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
³
“Their nobles have sent their servants for water;
They have come to the cisterns and found no water.
They have returned with empty vessels;
They have been shamed and humiliated,
And they cover their heads.
