Albert Barnes Commentary Jeremiah 8:19

"Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: is not Jehovah in Zion? is not her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities?" — Jeremiah 8:19 (ASV)

Or, Behold the voice of the cry for help of the daughter of my people from a distant land: Is not Yahweh in Zion? Is not her king there? Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, with foreign vanities? Their complaint, Is there no Jehovah in Zion? is met by God demanding of them the reason why instead of worshipping Him they have set up idols.
