Jeremiah 14:3-5

Modern English Version

³ Their nobles have sent their servants for water;
    they came to the cisterns and found no water.
They returned with their vessels empty;
    they were ashamed and humiliated,
    and covered their heads.
⁴ Because the ground is chapped,
    for there was no rain in the earth,
the plowmen were ashamed;
    they have covered their heads.
⁵ Indeed, the hind also calved in the field
    and abandoned her young
    because there was no grass.
