19. Listen to the weeping of my peopleall across the land:"Isn’t the Lord in Zion?Is her king no longer there?"Why then did they anger me with their images,with pointless foreign gods?
20. "The harvest is past,the summer has ended,yet we aren’t saved."
21. Because my people are crushed,I am crushed;darkness and despair overwhelm me.
22. Is there no balm in Gilead?Is there no physician there?Why then have my peoplenot been restored to health?
