18. My sorrow is beyond healing;my heart is faint within me.
19. Listen! The cry of the daughter of my peoplefrom a far country:“Is not the Lord in Zion?Is not her king in her?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their graven images,with foreign vanities?”
20. “The harvest is past,the summer is ended,and we are not saved.”
21. For the brokenness of the daughter of my people am I broken;I mourn; dismay has taken hold of me.
22. Is there no balm in Gilead?Is there no physician there?Why then has not the healthof the daughter of my people recovered?
