“Listen to the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far away: “Is the LORD no longer in Zion? Is her King no longer there?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, with their worthless foreign idols?”
Jeremiah 8:19 (BSB)
Context Reading
17“For behold, I will send snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you,” declares the LORD. 18My sorrow is beyond healing; my heart is faint within me. 19Listen to the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far away: “Is the LORD no longer in Zion? Is her King no longer there?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, with their worthless foreign idols?” 20“The harvest has passed, the summer has ended, but we have not been saved.” 21For the brokenness of the daughter of my people I am crushed. I mourn; horror has gripped me.
