Jeremiah 8:18-9:2
New International Version
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?”
20 “The harvest is past,
the summer has ended,
and we are not saved.”
21 Since my people are crushed,(G) I am crushed;
I mourn,(H) and horror grips me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead?(I)
Is there no physician(J) there?
Why then is there no healing(K)
for the wound of my people?
9 [b]1 Oh, that my head were a spring of water
and my eyes a fountain of tears!(L)
I would weep(M) day and night
for the slain of my people.(N)
2 Oh, that I had in the desert(O)
a lodging place for travelers,
so that I might leave my people
and go away from them;
for they are all adulterers,(P)
a crowd of unfaithful(Q) people.

New Living Translation
Jeremiah Weeps for Sinful Judah
18 My grief is beyond healing;
my heart is broken.
19 Listen to the weeping of my people;
it can be heard all across the land.
“Has the Lord abandoned Jerusalem?[a]” the people ask.
“Is her King no longer there?”
“Oh, why have they provoked my anger with their carved idols
and their worthless foreign gods?” says the Lord.
20 “The harvest is finished,
and the summer is gone,” the people cry,
“yet we are not saved!”
21 I hurt with the hurt of my people.
I mourn and am overcome with grief.
22 Is there no medicine in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why is there no healing
for the wounds of my people?
