Jeremiah 8:19-21

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁹Listen to my people’s cry of distress
out of a distant land:
“Is Adonai no longer in Tziyon?
Is her king no longer there?”

“Why do they provoke me with their idols
and their futile foreign gods?”

²⁰“The harvest has passed, the summer is over,
and still we are not saved.”

²¹The daughter of my people is broken,
and it’s tearing me to pieces;
everything looks dark to me,
horror seizes me.

with their worthless^(D) foreign idols?”^(E)

and we are not saved.”
