Jeremiah 14 (World English Bible)  View In My Bible 1 The word
of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought. 2 Judah
mourns, and the gates of it languish, they sit in black on the
ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. 3 Their nobles send
their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and
find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are
put to shame and confounded, and cover their heads. 4 Because of
the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the
land, the plowmen are put to shame, they cover their heads. 5
Yes, the hind also in the field calves, and forsakes [her
young], because there is no grass. 6 The wild donkeys stand on
the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes
fail, because there is no herbage. 7 Though our iniquities
testify against us, work you for your name's sake, Yahweh; for
our backslidings are many; we have sinned against you. 8 You
hope of Israel, the Savior of it in the time of trouble, why
should you be as a sojourner
