Jeremiah 8:20

8:20 “They cry, ¹  ‘Harvest time has come and gone, and the summer is over, ² 

and still we have not been delivered.’

[8:20]  ¹ tn The words “They say” are not in the text; they are supplied in the translation to make clear that the lament of the people begun in v. 19b is continued here after the interruption of the Lord’s words in v. 19c.

[8:20]  ² tn Heb “Harvest time has passed, the summer is over.”
