Jeremiah 14:2-4
Contemporary English Version

2 Judah and Jerusalem weep
    as the land dries up.
3 Rulers send their servants
    to the storage pits for water.[a]
But there's none to be found;
they return in despair
    with their jars still empty.

4 There has been no rain,
    and farmers feel sick
as they watch cracks appear
    in the dry ground.[b]
