Jeremiah 8:18-22

18When I would comfortH4010 myself against sorrowH3015, my heartH3820 is faintH1742 in me.1 19Behold the voiceH6963 of the cryH7775 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 because of them that dwell in a farH4801 countryH776: Is not YhwhH3068 in ZionH6726? is not her kingH4428 in her? Why have they provoked me to angerH3707 with their graven imagesH6456, and with strangeH5236 vanitiesH1892?2 20The harvestH7105 is pastH5674, the summerH7019 is endedH3615, and we are not savedH3467. 21For the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 am I hurtH7665; I am blackH6937; astonishmentH8047 hath taken holdH2388 on me. 22Is there no balmH6875 in GileadH1568; is there no physicianH7495 there? why thenH3588 is not the healthH724 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 recoveredH5927?3
