Jeremiah 14:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶The wild asses stand on the bare heights,^[a]
they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
because there is no herbage.

⁷Although our iniquities testify against us,
    act, O Lord, for your name’s sake;
our apostasies indeed are many,
    and we have sinned against you.
⁸O hope of Israel,
    its saviour in time of trouble,
why should you be like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveller turning aside for the night?
