LITV(i)
1 That which was the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah concerning the matter of droughts.
2 Judah mourns, and her gates droop. They put on mourning for the land, and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
3 And their nobles have sent their little ones for water. They came to the cisterns; they found no water. They returned with their vessels empty. They were ashamed and confounded and covered their head.
4 Because the ground was cracked, for there was no rain in the land; the plowmen were ashamed; they covered their head.
5 For even the doe calved in the field and forsook it because there was no grass.
6 And the wild asses stood in the high places; they snuffed up the wind like jackals; their eyes failed because there was no grass.
7 O Jehovah, though our iniquities testify against us, act for Your name's sake; for our apostasies are many; we have sinned against You.
