Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no healer there? Why, then, has the healing of the daughter of my people not been restored?

For thus says Yahweh concerning the house of the king of Judah, "You [are like] Gilead to me, [like] the head of the Lebanon. {Surely} I will make you a desert, [like] cities [that] are not inhabited.
