Jeremiah 14:3-5

New King James Version

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 ^(A)ashamed and confounded
^(B)And covered their heads.
⁴ Because the ground is parched,
For there was ^(C)no rain in the land,
The plowmen were ashamed;
They covered their heads.
⁵ Yes, the deer also gave birth in the field,
But ^[a]left because there was no grass.
