Jeremiah 14:2-4

New King James Version

² “Judah mourns,
And ^(A)her gates languish;
They ^(B)mourn for the land,
And ^(C)the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
³ Their nobles have sent their lads for water;
They went to the cisterns and found no water.
They returned with their vessels empty;
They were ^(D)ashamed and confounded
^(E)And covered their heads.
⁴ Because the ground is parched,
For there was ^(F)no rain in the land,
The plowmen were ashamed;
They covered their heads.
