Jeremiah 14:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶ Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights^(A)
panting for air like jackals.
Their eyes fail
because there are no green plants.
⁷ Though our guilt testifies against us,
Yahweh, act for Your name’s sake.
Indeed, our rebellions^(B) are many;
we have sinned against You.
⁸ Hope of Israel,^(C)
its Savior in time of distress,
why are You like a foreigner in the land,
like a traveler stopping only for the night?
