Jeremiah 14:1-6

This is what YAHWEH spoke to me concerning the drought: “Judah is weeping, and her doors are dark with discouragement. Her people sink to the ground in mourning; their cries of lament rise from Jerusalem. The elite send their servants for water, but when they come to the cisterns, they are bone dry. So, they return with their vessels empty. Humiliated, they cover their faces with shame. Since there has been no rain, the ground is dry and cracked at harvest season, and the farmers hang their heads in humiliation. Because there is no grass, even the doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn. The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights, Panting for air like jackals; their eyes are glazed over because there is no pasture.”
