Jeremiah 14:6-8

World English Bible

⁶ 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,
    work for your name’s sake, Yahweh;
for our rebellions are many.
    We have sinned against you.
⁸ You hope of Israel,
    its Savior in the time of trouble,
why should you be as a foreigner in the land,
    and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?
