Jeremiah 8:18-9:1 -Jeremiah laments over Judah

8:18 My joy is gone; grief is upon me; my heart is sick.

8:19 Listen!
The cry of the daughter of my people from far and wide in the land: "Is
the LORD not in Zion? Is her King not in her?" ("Why have they provoked
me to anger with their images, with their foreign idols?")

8:20 "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved."

8:21 For the brokenness of the daughter of my people I am broken, I mourn, and horror has seized me.

8:22 Is
there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the
health of the daughter of my people not been restored?

9:1O  that
my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears, so that I
might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people
