Jeremiah 14:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 because of the ruined soil;
Because there is no rain in the land
the farmers are confounded, they cover their heads.(A)
5 Even the doe in the field deserts her young
because there is no grass.
6 The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights,
gasping for breath like jackals;
Their eyes grow dim;
there is no grass.
