Jeremiah 14:5-7

Amplified Bible

⁵
“The doe in the field has given birth only to abandon her young
Because there is no grass.
⁶
“And the wild donkeys stand on the barren heights;
They pant for air like jackals,
Their eyesight fails
Because there is no grass.
⁷
“O Lord, though our many sins testify against us” [prays Jeremiah],
“Act now [for us and] for Your name’s sake [so that the faithless may witness Your faithfulness]!
For our backslidings are countless;
We have sinned against You.

New International Version

⁵Even the doe in the field
    deserts her newborn fawn
    because there is no grass.^(A)
⁶Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights^(B)
    and pant like jackals;
their eyes fail
    for lack of food.”^(C)

⁷Although our sins testify^(D) against us,
do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.^(E)
For we have often rebelled;^(F)
we have sinned^(G) against you.
