they are fallen on the ground, and the painful cry of Jerusalem is gone up.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/jeremiah/14-3.htm#aramaic"><b>3</b></a></span>And their nobles have sent their least ones for water;

the farmers are ashamed, they covered their heads.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/jeremiah/14-5.htm#aramaic"><b>5</b></a></span>Yea, the hinds also gave birth in the field, and forsook their young ones because there was no grass.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/jeremiah/14-6.htm#aramaic"><b>6</b></a></span>And the wild asses stood in the paths, they snuffed up the wind like jackals;

therefore the LORD is not pleased with them; he will now remember their iniquity and punish their sins. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/jeremiah/14-11.htm#aramaic"><b>11</b></a></span>Then the LORD said to me, Do not pray for this people for their good. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/jeremiah/14-12.htm#aramaic"><b>12</b></a></span>For if they fast, I will not hear their prayer;
