And aher gates languish;
They bmourn for the land,
And cthe cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
They went to the cisterns and found no water.
They returned with their vessels empty;
They were aashamed and confounded
bAnd covered their heads.
For there was ano rain in the land,
The plowmen were ashamed;
They covered their heads.
They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
Their eyes failed because there was no grass.”
Do it afor Your name’s sake;
For our backslidings are many,
We have sinned against You.
Why should You be like a stranger in the land,
And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
| << Jeremiah 14:3 | Jeremiah 14:5 >> |
