Jeremiah 8:19–22

19

Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off:

“Isn’t the LORD in Zion?

Isn’t her King in her?”

“Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images,

and with foreign idols?”

20

“The harvest is past.

The summer has ended,

and we are not saved.”

21

For the hurt of the daughter of my people, I am hurt.

I mourn.

Dismay has taken hold of me.
