Even the doe abandons her fawn in the field because there is no grass— Eyes glazed over, on her last legs, nothing but skin and bones."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth. Or, "concerning the words of straints" x; that is, concerning the businesses of a drought, as the Targum; concerning the Lord's restraining rain from the earth, and forbidding the heavens dropping it down; the consequence of which is a drought, or dryness of the earth; and the effect of that a famine; when this was it is not anywhere said; it could not be the famine at the siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, because that only affected the city; this all Judea. Some think it was in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, long before the siege; and others, that it was in the reign of Jehoiakim, since we read of a fast in his time, Jeremiah 36:9, which might be on this occasion; and it appears that there was one at this time, though not acceptable to God; see
Jeremiah 14:12.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The dearth - Really, the drought,
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XIV
This chapter begins with foretelling a drought that should
greatly distress the land of Judea, the effects of which are
described in a most pathetic manner, 1-6.
The prophet then, in the people's name, makes a confession of
sins, and supplication for pardon, 7-9.
But God declares his purpose to punish, forbidding Jeremiah to
pray for the people, 10-12.
False prophets are then complained of, and threatened with
destruction, as are also those who attend to them, 13-16.
The prophet, therefore, bewails their misery, 17, 18;
and though he had just now been forbidden to intercede for
them, yet, like a tender pastor, who could not cease to be
concerned for their welfare, he falls on the happy expedient of
introducing themselves as supplicating in their own name that
mercy which he was not allowed to ask in his, 19-22.
NOTES ON CHAP. XIV
Verse Jeremiah 14:1. The word - that came - concerning the dearth. — This discourse is supposed to have been delivered, after the fourth year of Jehoiakim. Concerning the dearth. We have no historic record of any dearth that may fall in with the time of this prophecy, and perhaps it does not refer to any particular dearth: but this was a calamity to which Judea was very liable. They had ordinarily very dry summers, for scarcely any rain fell from April to the middle of October; and during much of this time, the rivers were generally either very low or entirely dry. They kept the rain of the winter in tanks and reservoirs; and if little fell in winter, a dearth was unavoidable. See an account of a dearth in the time of Elijah, 1 Kings 18:5, through which almost all the cattle were lost.
