Jeremiah 14:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ Yes, even the hind gives birth to her calf in the field and forsakes it, because there is no grass or herbage.

⁶ And the wild donkeys stand on the bare heights; they pant for air like jackals or crocodiles; their eyesight fails because there is no grass.

⁷ O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us [prays Jeremiah], deal and work with us for Your own name’s sake [that the heathen may witness Your might and faithfulness]! For our backslidings are many; we have sinned against You.
