Jeremiah 14:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ And their nobles send their servants for water.
    They come to the pits, they find no water.
They return with their vessels empty.^[a]
    They are ashamed, and they are confounded,
    and they cover their heads.^[b]
4 Because of the ground, which is cracked
    because there was no rain on the ground.
The farmers are ashamed,
    they cover their heads.^[c]
5 For even the doe in the field gives birth and forsakes her young,^[d]
    because there is no green growth.
