Jeremiah 14:6

6 The wild donkeys standing on the bare heights gasp for air like jackals; their eyes grow dim from trying to spot any vegetation."

Jeremiah 14:6 In-Context

4 Because of the ground, which is cracked, since it has not rained in the land, the farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.
5 The doe in the countryside, giving birth, abandons her young for lack of grass.
6 The wild donkeys standing on the bare heights gasp for air like jackals; their eyes grow dim from trying to spot any vegetation."
7 Although our crimes witness against us, take action, ADONAI, for your name's sake; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against you.
8 You, hope of Isra'el, its savior in time of trouble, why should you be like a stranger in the land, like a traveler turning aside for the night?
