The grievous famine1 ¶ The wordº of the LORDº that² came² to² Jeremiahº concerningº² the dearth.º 2 Judahº mourneth,ºª and the gatesº thereof languish;ºª they are blackºª unto the ground;º and the cryº of Jerusalemº is gone up.ºª 3 And their noblesº have sentºª their little onesº to the waters:º they cameºª to² the pits,ºª¹ [and] foundºª no² water;º they returnedºª with their vesselsº empty;º they were ashamedºª and confounded,ºª and coveredºª their heads.º 4 Because² the groundº is chapt,ºª for² there was² no² rainº in the earth,º the plowmenº were ashamed,ºª they coveredºª their heads.º 5 Yea,² the hindº also calvedºª in the field,º and forsookºª [it], because² there was² no² grass.º 6 And the wild assesº did standºª in² the high places,º they snuffed upºª the windº like dragons;º their eyesº did fail,ºª because² [there was] no² grass.º [1] Jr 17:8.
