But [a]left because there was no grass.
And (A)the wild donkeys stood in the desolate heights;

We have sinned against You.

  1. Jeremiah 14:5 abandoned her young

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

Although 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.
