Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

The verse 2 is found in chapter 14 of Jeremiah. The drought produces a crisis affecting cities, fields, and animals. The people confess their sins, but God commands Jeremiah not to intercede because idolatry has persisted. Natural suffering becomes an occasion to reveal the depth of a rebellion that words of repentance have not accompanied with transformation.

Juda liegt jämmerlich, ihre Tore stehen elend; es steht kläglich auf dem Lande, und ist zu Jerusalem ein großes Geschrei.
Enlutose Judá, y sus puertas se despoblaron: oscureciéronse en tierra, y subió el clamor de Jerusalem.
Judá está de luto y sus puertas desfallecen; están por tierra, enlutadas, y se eleva el clamor de Jerusalén.
Juda est dans le deuil, Ses villes sont désolées, tristes, abattues, Et les cris de Jérusalem s'élèvent.
La Giudea fa cordoglio, e le sue porte languiscono; giacciono per terra in abito lugubre; il grido di Gerusalemme è salito.
Anda chorando Judá, e as suas portas estão enfraquecidas; andam de luto até ao chão, e o clamor de Jerusalém vai subindo.
「 猶大 悲哀,城門衰敗; 眾人坐在地上哀慟, 耶路撒冷 的哀聲上達。
