Read in context

Jeremiah 8:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 My sorrow is beyond healing; my heart is faint within me.

19 Listen to the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far away: “Is the LORD no longer in Zion? Is her King no longer there?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, with their worthless foreign idols?”

20 “The harvest has passed, the summer has ended, but we have not been saved.”

21 For the brokenness of the daughter of my people I am crushed. I mourn; horror has gripped me.

22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?
