⁵ For even the doe in the field gives birth and forsakes her young,^[a]
    because there is no green growth.
⁶ And wild asses stand on the barren heights,
    they gasp for breath like the jackals.
Their eyes fail
    because there is no vegetation.”
⁷ Although our iniquities testify against us, O Yahweh,
    act for the sake of your name.
Yes, our apostasies are many;
    we have sinned against you.
