This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_14:3 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, [and] found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.
Ver. 3. And their nobles.] Who would be sure to have it if it were to be had.
Sent their little ones.] Their boys, as they used to call their menial servants of the younger sort. See Mat_14:2. {See Trapp on "Mat_14:2"}
To the waters.] Such as were the waters of Siloe, which only fountain, saith Jerome, Jerusalem maketh use of so long as it lasteth.
To the pits,] Or, Cisterns. {Jer_2:13}
They covered their heads.] As close mourners do still.
