“Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off:“Isn’t Yahweh in Zion?Isn’t her King in her?”“Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images,and with foreign idols?”

Context Reading
17“For, behold, I will send serpents,adders among you,which will not be charmed;and they will bite you,” says Yahweh. 18Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow!My heart is faint within me. 19Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off:“Isn’t Yahweh in Zion?Isn’t her King in her?”“Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images,and with foreign idols?” 20“The harvest is past.The summer has ended,and we are not saved.” 21For the hurt of the daughter of my people, I am hurt.I mourn.Dismay has taken hold of me.
