Jeremiah 8:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ Listen to the weeping of my people
        all 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.
