Jeremiah:14:1-9
rsv@Jeremiah:14:1 @ The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:
rsv@Jeremiah:14:2 @ "Judah mourns and her gates languish; her people lament on the ground, and the cry of Jerusalem goes up.
rsv@Jeremiah:14:3 @ Her nobles send their servants for water; they come to the cisterns, they find no water, they return with their vessels empty; they are ashamed and confounded and cover their heads.
rsv@Jeremiah:14:4 @ Because of the ground which is dismayed, since there is no rain on the land, the farmers are ashamed, they cover their heads.
rsv@Jeremiah:14:5 @ Even the hind in the field forsakes her newborn calf because there is no grass.
rsv@Jeremiah:14:6 @ The wild asses stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail because there is no herbage.
rsv@Jeremiah:14:7 @ "Though our iniquities testify against us, act, O LORD, for thy name's sake; for our backslidings are many, we have sinned against thee.
rsv@Jeremiah:14:8 @ O thou hope of Israel, its savior in time of trouble, why shouldst thou be like a stranger in the land, like a wayfarer who turns aside to tarry for a night?
rsv@Jeremiah:14:9 @ Why shouldst thou be like a man confused, like a mighty man who cannot save? Yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not."
