Jeremiah 14:3-5

Good News Translation

³ The rich people send their servants for water;
    they go to the cisterns,
    but find no water;
    they come back with their jars empty.
Discouraged and confused,
    they hide their faces.
⁴ Because there is no rain
    and the ground is dried up,
the farmers are sick at heart;
    they hide their faces.
⁵ In the field the mother deer
    abandons her newborn fawn
    because there is no grass.
