1 The word of Adonai that came to Jeremiah concerning the droughts:
2 Judah will mourn, and her gates languish. They will bow in black to the ground And Jerusalem’s wail will go up.
3 Their nobles will send their lads for water. They come to the cisterns, but find no water. Their jars return empty. They are ashamed and humiliated; they cover their heads.
4 Because the ground is cracked, since there has been no rain in the land, the farmers are ashamed— they cover their heads.
