Jeremiah 14:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 And the wild asses did stand in the high places, and drew in their wind like [a]dragons: their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.
7 [b]O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, deal with us according to thy Name: for our rebellions are many, we sinned against thee.
8 O thou hope of Israel, the savior thereof in the time of trouble, why art thou as a [c]stranger in the land, as one that passeth by, to tarry 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?
