Jeremiah 14:5
The brute creation is reduced to the utmost extremity for the want of food. The "hind," famed for her affection to her young, abandons them.
3 Their nobles have sent their lads for water;
They went to the cisterns and found no water.
They returned with their vessels empty;
They were aashamed and confounded
bAnd covered their heads.
They went to the cisterns and found no water.
They returned with their vessels empty;
They were aashamed and confounded
bAnd covered their heads.
4 Because the ground is parched,
For there was ano rain in the land,
The plowmen were ashamed;
They covered their heads.
For there was ano rain in the land,
The plowmen were ashamed;
They covered their heads.
6 And athe wild donkeys stood in the desolate heights;
They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
Their eyes failed because there was no grass.”
They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
Their eyes failed because there was no grass.”
7 O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us,
Do it afor Your name’s sake;
For our backslidings are many,
We have sinned against You.
Do it afor Your name’s sake;
For our backslidings are many,
We have sinned against You.
