Jeremiah 14:5-9

“For even the doe in the field has given birth only to abandon her young, Because there is no grass.

“The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights; They pant for air like jackals, Their eyes fail Because there is no vegetation.

“Though our wrongdoings testify against us, Lord, act for the sake of Your name! Our apostasies have indeed been many, We have sinned against You.

“Hope of Israel, Its Savior in time of distress, Why are You like a stranger in the land, Or like a traveler who has pitched his tent for the night?

“Why are You like a confused person, Like a warrior who cannot save? Yet You are in our midst, Lord, And we are called by Your name; Do not leave us!”
