Jeremiah 14:6
Like dragons - " Like jackals" Jeremiah 9:11.
No grass - The keen sight of the wild donkey is well known, but they look around in vain for herb.
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.
8 aO the Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble,
Why should You be like a stranger in the land,
And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
Why should You be like a stranger in the land,
And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
