Jeremiah 8:18-22 (New International Version)

 ¹⁸ O my Comforter ^[a] in sorrow,
       my heart is faint within me.

 ¹⁹ Listen to the cry of my people
       from a land far away:
       "Is the LORD not in Zion?
       Is her King no longer there?"
       "Why have they provoked me to anger with their images,
       with their worthless foreign idols?"

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

 ²¹ Since my people are crushed, I am crushed;
       I mourn, and horror grips me.

 ²² Is there no balm in Gilead?
       Is there no physician there?
       Why then is there no healing
       for the wound of my people?
