19. Listen to my people. Everywhere in this country, people are crying for help. They say, “Is the Lord still at Zion? Is Zion’s King still there?” But God says, “The people of Judah worshiped their worthless foreign idols. That made me very angry! Why did they do that?”
20. And the people say, “Harvest time is over. Summer is gone, and still we have not been saved.”
21. My people are hurt, so I am hurt. I am too sad to speak.
22. Surely there is some medicine in Gilead. Surely there is a doctor in Gilead. So why are the wounds of my people not healed?
