Jeremiah 8:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ Listen to the weeping of my people all across the land.

“Where is the Lord?” they ask. “Has God deserted us?”

“Oh, why have they angered me with their carved idols and strange evil rites?” the Lord replies.

²⁰ “The harvest is finished; the summer is over, and we are not saved.”

²¹ I weep for the hurt of my people; I stand amazed, silent, dumb with grief.
