“Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.”
Jeremiah 14:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Jeremiah 14:5
Even wildlife suffers: 'Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.' The hind (deer), known for devoted maternal care, abandons her newborn due to drought's severity. This demonstrates judgment's cosmic scope—innocent animals suffer due to human covenant breaking. The detail intensifies the tragedy: even strong maternal instincts yield to starvation. This recalls Romans 8:20-22, where creation groans under human sin's curse. Reformed theology recognizes that sin's consequences extend beyond sinners to affect all creation.
