The Great Drought

14 The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:

“Judah mourns
    and her gates languish;
her people lament on the ground,
    and the cry of Jerusalem goes up.

    they come to the cisterns,

    they return with their vessels empty;
they are ashamed and confounded
    and cover their heads.
