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?”
I am bmourning;
Astonishment has taken hold of me.
Is there no physician there?
Why then is there no recovery
For the health of the daughter of my people?
