Jeremiah 14:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴ because the ground is cracked.
    Because there has been no rain on the land
the farmers are dismayed;
    they cover their heads.
⁵ Even the doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn
    because there is no grass.
⁶ The wild asses stand on the bare heights,^[a]
    they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
    because there is no herbage.
