Jeremiah 14:5-7

Young's Literal Translation

⁵For even the hind in the field hath brought forth -- to forsake [it!] For there hath been no grass.

⁶And wild asses have stood on high places, They have swallowed up wind like dragons, Consumed have been their eyes, for there is no herb.

⁷Surely our iniquities have testified against us, O Jehovah, work for Thy name's sake, For many have been our backslidings, Against Thee we have sinned.

Jeremiah 14:5-7

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.
