Jeremiah 8:18-20
Amplified Bible
18
Oh, that I (Jeremiah) could find comfort from my sorrow [for my grief is beyond healing],
My heart is sick and faint within me!
19
Behold, [hear the sound of] the cry of the daughter of my people from the distant land [of Babylon]:
“Is not the Lord in Zion? Is not her King within her?”
[But the Lord answers] “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images and with foreign idols?”
20
“The harvest is past, the summer has ended and the gathering of fruit is over,
But we are not saved,” [comes the voice of the people again].
Jeremiah 8:18-20
New International Version
18 You who are my Comforter[a] in sorrow,
my heart is faint(A) within me.
19 Listen to the cry of my people
from a land far away:(B)
“Is the Lord not in Zion?
Is her King(C) no longer there?”
20 “The harvest is past,
the summer has ended,
and we are not saved.”
