Jeremiah 14:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² Judah mourns
    and her gates languish;
they lie in gloom on the ground,
    and the cry of Jerusalem goes up.
³ Her nobles send their servants for water;
    they come to the cisterns,
they find no water,
    they return with their vessels empty.
They are ashamed and dismayed
    and cover their heads,
⁴ because the ground is cracked.
    Because there has been no rain on the land
the farmers are dismayed;
    they cover their heads.
