Jeremiah 8:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ My sorrow cannot be healed;^[a]
    I am sick at heart.
¹⁹ Listen! Throughout the land
    I hear my people crying out,
“Is the Lord no longer in Zion?
    Is Zion's king no longer there?”
The Lord, their king, replies,
“Why have you made me angry by worshiping your idols
    and by bowing down to your useless foreign gods?”
²⁰ The people cry out,
“The summer is gone, the harvest is over,
    but we have not been saved.”
