Sorrow over Zion

18 [a]My (A)sorrow is beyond healing;
My (B)heart is faint within me!
19 Behold, the sound! The cry of the daughter of my people from a (C)distant land:
“Is Yahweh not in Zion? Is her King not within her?”
“Why have they (D)provoked Me to anger with their graven images, with foreign [b](E)idols?”
20 “Harvest is past, summer is ended,
And we are not saved.”
