Jeremiah 8:18-9:2
New American Standard Bible
18 [a]My (A)sorrow is beyond healing,
My (B)heart is faint within me!
19 Behold, listen! The cry of the daughter of my people from a (C)distant land:
“Is the Lord not in Zion? Is her King not within her?”
“Why have they (D)provoked Me with their carved images, with foreign [b](E)idols?”
20 “Harvest is past, summer is over,
And we are not saved.”
21 I am broken over the (F)brokenness of the daughter of my people.
I (G)mourn, dismay has taken hold of me.
22 Is there no (H)balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
(I)Why then has not the [c]health of the daughter of my people [d]been restored?
Grief over Zion
9 [e](J)Oh, that my head were waters
And my eyes a fountain of tears,
That I might weep day and night
For those slain of the (K)daughter of my people!
2 [f](L)Oh that I had in the desert
A travelers’ lodging place;
So that I might leave my people
And go away from them!
For all of them are (M)adulterers,
An assembly of (N)treacherous people.

Jeremiah 8:18-9:2
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Lament over Judah
18 My joy has flown away;
grief has settled on me.
My heart is sick.(A)
19 Listen—the cry of my dear[a] people
from a far away land,
“Is the Lord no longer in Zion,(B)
her King not within her?”
Why have they provoked me to anger
with their carved images,
with their worthless foreign idols?(C)
20 Harvest has passed, summer has ended,
but we have not been saved.
21 I am broken by the brokenness
of my dear[b] people.(D)
I mourn; horror has taken hold of me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead?(E)
Is there no physician there?
So why has the healing of my dear[c] people
not come about?
9 [d]If my head were a spring of water,
my eyes a fountain of tears,
I would weep day and night(F)
over the slain of my dear[e] people.
2 [f]If only I had a traveler’s lodging place
in the wilderness,
I would abandon my people
and depart from them,
for they are all adulterers,(G)
a solemn assembly of treacherous people.(H)
