Jeremiah 14:2 BBE

¹  The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah when there was no water.

²  Judah is weeping and its doors are dark with sorrow, and people are seated on the earth clothed in black; and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.

³  Their great men have sent their servants for water: they come to the holes and there is no water to be seen; they come back with nothing in their vessels; they are overcome with shame and fear, covering their heads.

⁴  Those who do work on the land are in fear, for there has been no rain on the land, and the farmers are shamed, covering their heads.
