Jeremiah 14:3-7

“Their nobles have sent their servants for water; They have come to the cisterns and found no water. They have returned with their containers empty; They have been put to shame and humiliated, And they cover their heads,

Because the ground is cracked, For there has been no rain on the land. The farmers have been put to shame, They have covered their heads.

“For even the doe in the field has given birth only to abandon her young, Because there is no grass.

“The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights; They pant for air like jackals, Their eyes fail Because there is no vegetation.

“Though our wrongdoings testify against us, Lord, act for the sake of Your name! Our apostasies have indeed been many, We have sinned against You.
