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 verse 19 is found in chapter 8 of Jeremiah. The prophet mourns the destruction of his people and asks why healing does not come. The famous image of the balm of Gilead raises a theological question: medicine exists, yet the wound remains because the problem is spiritual and collective. The lament reveals the prophet’s pain over a community that does not respond to correction.
