Jeremiah 14:1-3

Complete Jewish Bible

14 The word of Adonai that came to Yirmeyahu concerning the drought:

² “Y’hudah is mourning, her gates are languishing;
they sit on the ground in gloom;
Yerushalayim sends up a cry of anguish.
³ Her nobles send their servants for water;
they go to the cisterns but find no water,
so they return with empty jars.
Ashamed and dismayed, they cover their heads.
