Jeremiah 14:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ The ground is dry and cracked.
    There isn’t any rain in the land.
The farmers are terrified.
    They cover their heads.
⁵ Even the female deer in the fields
    desert their newborn fawns.
    There isn’t any grass to eat.
⁶ Wild donkeys stand on the bare hilltops.
    They long for water as wild dogs do.
Their eyesight fails
    because they do not have any food to eat.”
