Charles Spurgeon Commentary Jeremiah 8:19-20

"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? The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved." — Jeremiah 8:19-20 (ASV)

Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities? The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

I will read that twentieth verse again: The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. This may be the lament of some of my present hearers; and if it is, may they bow now before the Lord in true penitence of heart, and may he in pity save them this very hour! The harvest is past, the summer is ended; but, oh! may they soon be saved!
