Jeremiah 14:5 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Yea. — Better, For, as the Hebrew is usually translated. What follows gives the reason of the terror which has come upon the people. Each region has its representative instance of misery. The hind of the field (the female of the common stag — the Cervus elaphus of zoologists), noted for its tenderness to its young, abandons it, and turns away to seek pasture for itself, and fails to find any.

Jeremiah 14:5

5 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.
