Jeremiah 14:5-8

New International Version

⁵ Even the doe in the field
    deserts her newborn fawn
    because there is no grass.^(A)
6 Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights^(B)
    and pant like jackals;
their eyes fail
    for lack of food.”^(C)

⁷ Although our sins testify^(D) against us,
    do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.^(E)
For we have often rebelled;^(F)
    we have sinned^(G) against you.
⁸ You who are the hope^(H) of Israel,
    its Savior^(I) in times of distress,^(J)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveler who stays only a night?
