Jeremiah 14:6 BBE

⁴  Those who do work on the land are in fear, for there has been no rain on the land, and the farmers are shamed, covering their heads.

⁵  And the roe, giving birth in the field, lets her young one be uncared for, because there is no grass.

⁶  And the asses of the field on the open hilltops are opening their mouths wide like jackals to get air; their eyes are hollow because there is no grass.

⁷  Though our sins give witness against us, do something, O Lord, for the honour of your name: for again and again we have been turned away from you, we have done evil against you.

⁸  O you hope of Israel, its saviour in time of trouble, why are you like one who is strange in the land, and like a traveller putting up his tent for a night?
