Jeremiah 14:4
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The ground is cracked because no rain has fallen on the land. The farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.
In context
2 “Judah mourns and her gates languish. Her people wail for the land, and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.
3 The nobles send their servants for water; they go to the cisterns, but find no water; their jars return empty. They are ashamed and humiliated; they cover their heads.
4 The ground is cracked because no rain has fallen on the land. The farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.
5 Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawn because there is no grass.
6 Wild donkeys stand on barren heights; they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail for lack of pasture.”
