Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights.
They pant for air like jackals.
Their eyes grow dim,

Jeremiah’s Prayers and the Lord’s Answers

    Do something, Lord, for the sake of your name,
    even though our guilt testifies against us.
    We have rebelled many times,
    and we have sinned against you.

    its Savior in times of trouble.
    Why are you like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveler who stays only for the night?
