How long is the (A)land to mourn,
And the (B)vegetation of the [a]countryside to dry up?

Because people have said, “He will not see our final (E)end.”

  1. Jeremiah 12:4 Lit whole field

18 How (A)the animals have groaned!
The herds of cattle have wandered aimlessly
Because there is no pasture for them;
Even the flocks of sheep have [a]suffered.
19 (B)To You, Lord, I cry out;
For (C)fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness,
And the flame has burned up all the trees of the field.
