Jeremiah 14:1-3

New Century Version

² “The nation of Judah cries as if someone has died,
    and her cities are very sad.
They are distressed over the land.
    A cry goes up to God from Jerusalem.
³ The important men send their servants to get water.
    They go to the wells,
    but they find no water.
So they return with empty jars.
    They are ashamed and embarrassed
    and cover their heads in shame.
