Weeping for Jerusalem

18 My joy is overcome by grief,
    my heart is faint within me.
19 Listen, the sound of the cry of the daughter of my people
    —a voice from a distant land—
    “Is Adonai no longer in Zion?
        Is her King no longer in her?”

    “Why have they provoked Me with their graven images,
        with foreign idols?”

20 “Harvest is past,
    summer is over,
    yet we are not saved.”

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?”

“Why have they aroused(D) my anger with their images,
    with their worthless(E) foreign idols?”(F)

20 “The harvest is past,
    the summer has ended,
    and we are not saved.”
