A message from the Lord came to Jeremiah. He told Jeremiah there wouldn’t be any rain in the land. The Lord said,“ Judah is filled with sadness. Its cities are wasting away.

They are terrified. They do not have any hope. They cover their heads.The ground is dry and cracked. There isn’t any rain in the land. The farmers are terrified. They cover their heads.Even the female deer in the fields desert their newborn fawns. There isn’t any grass to eat.Wild donkeys stand on the bare hilltops. They long for water as wild dogs do.
