Jeremiah 8:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 “The harvest is over, the summer ended,
but we have not yet been saved!”
21 I am broken by the injury of the daughter of my people.
I am in mourning; horror has seized me.(A)
22 Is there no balm in Gilead,[a]
no healer there?
Why does new flesh not grow
over the wound of the daughter of my people?(B)
