Jeremiah 14:3-5

Common English Bible

³ The rich send their servants for water,
    but the wells run dry.
They return with empty jars,
    ashamed, bewildered, and in despair.
⁴ Because the ground is cracked due to lack of rain,
    the farmers too are ashamed;
    they cover their heads.
⁵ Even the doe in the field
    abandons her newborn,
    for there’s no grass.
