Jeremiah 14:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ The important men send their servants to get water.
    The servants go to the wells,
    but they find no water.
So they return with empty jars.
    They are ashamed and embarrassed.
    They cover their heads in shame.
⁴ The ground is dry and cracked open
    because no rain falls on the land.
The farmers are upset and sad.
    So they cover their heads in shame.
⁵ Even the mother deer in the field
    leaves her fawn.
    She does this because there is no grass.
