Jeremiah 14:6

Contemporary English Version 1995

Wild donkeys go blind from starvation. So they stand on barren hilltops and sniff the air, hoping to smell green grass.

See the chapter Copy

You are a female donkey sniffing the desert air, wanting to mate with just anyone. You are an easy catch!

Our cattle wander aimlessly, moaning for lack of pasture, and sheep are suffering.

We feel sick all over and can't even see straight;

Our eyes became weary, hopelessly looking for help from a nation that could not save us.

Jonathan said, “My father has caused you a lot of trouble. Look at me! I ate only a little of this honey, but already I feel strong and alert.

The palace will be deserted, the crowded city empty. Fortresses and towers will forever become playgrounds for wild donkeys and pastures for sheep.
