Jeremiah 8:19

Lament Over Judah

¹⁸ My sorrow is beyond healing,
My heart is faint within me!
¹⁹ Behold, listen! The cry of the daughter of my people from a distant land:
“Is the Lord not in Zion? Is her King not within her?”
“Why have they provoked Me with their graven images, with foreign idols?”
²⁰ “Harvest is past, summer is ended,
And we are not saved.”
