The Severe Drought

14 That which came as the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah concerning the matter[a] of the severe drought.

“Judah mourns, and her gates languish,
    they are in mourning on the ground,
    and the cry of lament of Jerusalem goes up.
And their nobles send their servants for water.
    They come to the pits, they find no water.
They return with their vessels empty.[b]
    They are ashamed, and they are confounded,
    and they cover their heads.[c]
