Jeremiah 8:18-22

Jeremiah Grieves for His People

18 My joy is gone; grief is upon me;
Compare Septuagint; the meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain

bmy heart is sick within me.
19Behold, the cry of the daughter of my people
from cthe length and breadth of the land:
“Is the Lord not in Zion?
dIs her King not in her?”
e“Why have they provoked me to anger with their carved images
and with their foreign idols?”
20“The harvest is past, the summer is ended,
and we are not saved.”
21For the wound of fthe daughter of my people is my heart wounded;
gI mourn, and dismay has taken hold on me.
22 Is there no hbalm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why then has the health of the daughter of my people
not been restored?

Jeremiah 9:1

1
Ch 8:23 in Hebrew
jOh that my head were waters,
and my eyes a fountain of tears,
that I might weep day and night
for the slain of kthe daughter of my people!
