Jeremiah 14:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶The ^(A)wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
They pant for air like jackals,
Their eyes fail
Because there is ^(B)no vegetation.
⁷Though our ^(C)wrongdoings testify against us,
Lord, act ^(D)for the sake of Your name!
Our ^(E)apostasies have indeed been many,
We have ^(F)sinned against You.
⁸^(G)Hope of Israel,
Its ^(H)Savior in ^(I)time of distress,
Why are You like a stranger in the land,
Or like a traveler who has pitched his tent for the night?

New International Version

⁶Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights^(A)
and pant like jackals;
their eyes fail
for lack of food.”^(B)

⁷Although 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.
⁸You 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?

⁷O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.

⁸O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?
