17“For behold, I am sending serpents against you,
         Adders, for which there is no charm,
         And they will bite you,” declares the LORD.

18My sorrow is beyond healing,
         My heart is faint within me!

19Behold, listen! The cry of the daughter of my people from a distant land:
         “Is the LORD not in Zion? Is her King not within her?”
         “Why have they provoked Me with their graven images, with foreign idols?”

20“Harvest is past, summer is ended,
         And we are not saved.”

21For the brokenness of the daughter of my people I am broken;
         I mourn, dismay has taken hold of me.

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