Jeremiah 14:5 in context

  1. 3Their nobles send their little ones to the waters.
    They come to the cisterns,
    and find no water.
    They return with their vessels empty.
    They are disappointed and confounded,
    and cover their heads.
  2. 4Because of the ground which is cracked,
    because no rain has been in the land,
    the plowmen are disappointed.
    They cover their heads.
  3. 5Yes, the doe in the field also calves and forsakes her young,
    because there is no grass.
  4. 6The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights.
    They pant for air like jackals.
    Their eyes fail,
    because there is no vegetation.
  5. 7Though our iniquities testify against us,
    work for your name’s sake, Yahweh;
    for our rebellions are many.
    We have sinned against you.
