The word of the Lord that came to Ieremiah concerning the dearth.

Iudah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they are blacke vnto the ground, and the crie of Ierusalem is gone vp.

And their nobles haue sent their litle ones to the waters, they came to the pits and found no water, they returned with the vessels emptie: they were ashamed and confounded, and couered their heads.

Because the ground is chapt, for there was no raine in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they couered their heads.

Yea the hinde also calued in the field, and forsooke it, because there was no grasse.

And the wilde asses did stand in the hie places, they snuffed vp the winde like dragons: their eyes did faile because there was no grasse.
