17 “For behold, I will send serpents among you,
Vipers which cannot be acharmed,
And they shall bite you,” says the Lord.
Vipers which cannot be acharmed,
And they shall bite you,” says the Lord.
The Prophet Mourns for the People
19 Listen! The voice,
The cry of the daughter of my people
From aa far country:
“Is not the Lord in Zion?
Is not her King in her?”
“Why have they provoked Me to anger
With their carved images—
With foreign idols?”
The cry of the daughter of my people
From aa far country:
“Is not the Lord in Zion?
Is not her King in her?”
“Why have they provoked Me to anger
With their carved images—
With foreign idols?”
21 aFor the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt.
I am bmourning;
Astonishment has taken hold of me.
I am bmourning;
Astonishment has taken hold of me.
22 Is there no abalm in Gilead,
Is there no physician there?
Why then is there no recovery
For the health of the daughter of my people?
Is there no physician there?
Why then is there no recovery
For the health of the daughter of my people?
