Jeremiah 8:21-9:2
New International Version
Jeremiah 8:21-9:2
New International Version
21 Since my people are crushed,(A) I am crushed;
I mourn,(B) and horror grips me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead?(C)
Is there no physician(D) there?
Why then is there no healing(E)
for the wound of my people?
9 [a]1 Oh, that my head were a spring of water
and my eyes a fountain of tears!(F)
I would weep(G) day and night
for the slain of my people.(H)
2 Oh, that I had in the desert(I)
a lodging place for travelers,
so that I might leave my people
and go away from them;
for they are all adulterers,(J)
a crowd of unfaithful(K) people.
