Jeremiah 14:6-8

International Standard Version

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.
⁸ Hope of Israel,
    its deliverer in time of trouble,
why are you like a stranger^[a] in the land,
    like a traveler who sets up his tent for a night?
