Jeremiah 8:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ Incurable sorrow has overwhelmed me,
    my heart is sick within me.
¹⁹ Listen! My people^[a] cry
    from a distant land:
“Is the Lord no longer in Zion?
    Is her king no longer there?”

“Why did they provoke me to anger with their images,
    with their worthless foreign gods?”

²⁰ The harvest is past,
    the summer has ended,
        and we haven’t been delivered.
