Jeremiah 14:2 DBY

¹  The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought.

²  Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem goeth up.

³  And their nobles send their little ones for water: they come to the pits, they find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are ashamed, they are confounded, and have covered their heads.

⁴  Because the ground is chapt, for there hath been no rain on the earth, the ploughmen are ashamed, they cover their heads.
