Jeremiah 14:6-8
Amplified Bible
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.
8
“O Hope of Israel,
Her Savior in time of distress and trouble,
Why should You be like a sojourner (temporary resident) in the land
Or like a traveler who turns aside and spreads his tent to linger [only] for a night?
Jeremiah 14:6-8
New International Version
6 Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights(A)
and pant like jackals;
their eyes fail
for lack of food.”(B)
7 Although our sins testify(C) against us,
do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.(D)
For we have often rebelled;(E)
we have sinned(F) against you.
8 You who are the hope(G) of Israel,
its Savior(H) in times of distress,(I)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
like a traveler who stays only a night?
