Jeremiah 14:6-8

English Standard Version Anglicised

^6 (A)The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
    they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
    because there is no vegetation.
⁷ “Though our iniquities testify against us,
    act, O Lord, ^(B)for your name's sake;
^(C)for our backslidings are many;
    ^(D)we have sinned against you.
^8 (E)O you hope of Israel,
    its saviour in time of trouble,
why should you be like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveller who turns aside to tarry for a night?
