Jeremiah 14:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ Even the doe in the field gives birth
    and then abandons her young^[a]
        because there is no grass.
⁶ Wild donkeys stand on the barren hills.
    They pant for air like jackals.
Their eyesight fails
    because there is no vegetation.”

⁷ Lord, even though our iniquities testify against us,
    do something for the sake of your name.
Indeed, our apostasies are many,
    and we have sinned against you.
