Jeremías 8:20

20 Se pasó la siega, se acabó el verano, y nosotros no hemos sido salvos

Jeremías 8:20 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 8:20

The harvest is past
Which was in the month of Ijar, as Jarchi observes, and answers to part of April and May: the summer is ended;
which was in the month Tammuz, and answers to part of June and July: and we are not saved;
delivered from the siege of the Chaldeans; and harvest and summer being over, there were no hopes of the Egyptians coming to their relief; seeing winter was approaching; and it may be observed, that it was in the month of Ab, which answers to part of July and August, that the city and temple were burnt. These are the words of the people of the Jews, despairing of help and salvation. So the Targum,

``the congregation of Israel said, the time is passed, the end is up, and we are not redeemed.''

Jeremías 8:20 In-Context

18 A causa de mi fuerte dolor, mi corazón desfallece en mí

19 He aquí voz del clamor de la hija de mi pueblo, que viene de la tierra lejana: ¿No está el SEÑOR en Sion? ¿No está en ella su Rey? ¿Por qué me hicieron airar con sus imágenes de talla, con vanidades de dios ajeno

20 Se pasó la siega, se acabó el verano, y nosotros no hemos sido salvos

21 Quebrantado estoy por el quebrantamiento de la hija de mi pueblo; entenebrecido estoy, espanto me ha arrebatado

22 ¿No hay bálsamo en Galaad? ¿No hay allí médico? ¿Por qué, pues, no hubo medicina para la hija de mi pueblo
