Jeremiah 14:3-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
3Their nobles have sent their servants for water; They have come to the cisterns and found no water. They have returned with their containers empty; They have been put to shame and humiliated, And they cover their heads, 4Because the ground is cracked, For there has been no rain on the land. The farmers have been put to shame, They have covered their heads. 5For even the doe in the field has given birth only to abandon her young, Because there is no grass. 6The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights; They pant for air like jackals, Their eyes fail Because there is no vegetation.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible

3Their nobles send their servants for water. They go to the cisterns; they find no water; their containers return empty. They are ashamed and humiliated; they cover their heads. 4The ground is cracked since no rain has fallen on the land. The farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads. 5Even the doe in the field gives birth and abandons her fawn since there is no grass.New Living Translation
Chapter 14
3The nobles send servants to get water, but all the wells are dry. The servants return with empty pitchers, confused and desperate, covering their heads in grief. 4The ground is parched and cracked for lack of rain. The farmers are deeply troubled; they, too, cover their heads. 5Even the doe abandons her newborn fawn because there is no grass in the field. 6The wild donkeys stand on the bare hills panting like thirsty jackals. They strain their eyes looking for grass, but there is none to be found.'English Standard Version
