Jeremiah 8:22

²⁰ “The harvest has passed, the summer has ended, but we have not been saved.”

²¹ For the brokenness of the daughter of my people I am crushed. I mourn; horror has gripped me.

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