Jeremiah 14:6-8
New International Reader's Version
Jeremiah 14:6-8
New International Reader's Version
6 Wild donkeys stand on the bare hilltops.
They long for water as wild dogs do.
Their eyesight fails
because they do not have any food to eat.”
7 Lord, our sins are a witness against us.
But do something for the honor of your name.
We have often turned away from you.
We’ve sinned against you.
8 You are Israel’s only hope.
You save us when we’re in trouble.
Why are you like a stranger to us?
Why are you like a traveler who stays for only one night?
Jeremiah 14:6-8
New International Version
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?

King James Version
Jeremiah 14:6-8
King James Version
6 And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.
7 O 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.
8 O 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?
