Jeremiah 8:19 Summary
Jeremiah 8:19 is a verse where the people of Israel are crying out to God, wondering if He has abandoned them. They are asking if God is still with them in Zion, and if their King is still in charge. This is because they have been worshiping false idols and have provoked God to anger, as seen in Jeremiah 8:19. Just like the Israelites, we can sometimes wonder if God is still with us, especially when we are going through tough times (see Psalms 46:1-3), but we can be assured that He is always faithful and will never leave us (see Hebrews 13:5).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is meant by 'the daughter of my people' in Jeremiah 8:19?
The phrase 'the daughter of my people' refers to the nation of Israel, whom God loves and cares for, as seen in Jeremiah 8:19 and also in Ezekiel 13:17, where God speaks of 'the daughters of your people' prophesying out of their own hearts.
Why are the people crying out to God in Jeremiah 8:19?
The people are crying out to God because they are in a state of distress and uncertainty, wondering if God has abandoned them, as expressed in Jeremiah 8:19, and this is a result of their own sinful actions, as mentioned in Jeremiah 8:19, where they have provoked God to anger with their idols.
What is the significance of the question 'Is the LORD no longer in Zion? Is her King no longer there?' in Jeremiah 8:19?
This question shows that the people are doubting God's presence and power in their lives, despite His promise to always be with them, as stated in Psalms 46:5, which says 'God is within her, she will not fall'.
How does God respond to the people's cry in Jeremiah 8:19?
God responds by expressing His anger and sadness at their sinful actions, as seen in Jeremiah 8:19, where He says 'Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, with their worthless foreign idols?', and this is reminiscent of Deuteronomy 32:16, where God says 'They provoked Me to jealousy with foreign gods'.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways in which I have provoked God to anger in my own life, and how can I turn back to Him?
- How can I, like the people in Jeremiah 8:19, come to realize my own spiritual poverty and cry out to God for help?
- In what ways can I, as a believer, be a source of comfort and hope to those around me who are crying out to God in distress?
- What are some idols or false gods that I may be worshiping in my own life, and how can I tear them down and turn back to the one true God?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 8:19
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?
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 8:19
The voice of the cry, i.e. the, greatness of their cry, the bitter cries, and screeches, and complaints that methinks I hear: the words are abrupt, because the prophet is to represent several persons speaking; himself, the people, and God. Of the daughter of my people; see ; possibly because Jeremiah loved them, instructed them, admonished them as a daughter. Them that dwell in afar country, viz. their enemies the Babylonians, that were to come against them from a far country, ; or the voice of them that were captives under those of a far country; now they begin to cry, which would not be persuaded to it before: the first is most to be approved of. In Zion, viz. in Jerusalem, a metonymy of the subject. Is not her king in her; or, as King in Zion; or, have we not a king of the seed of David, to whom the kingdom was granted to be perpetual? Either the words of God: q. d. Was not I among you, to provide for you, and protect you, but you must needs repair to idols? The like kind of speech is in , and the close of the verse seems to favour this. Or, as others, an expostulatory lamentation of the people, that the cruel adversary should prevail over a people that had God so near them, ,3 76:1,2: Hath God now left us? and is the promise of his continuance here at an end? . Why have they provoked me with strange vanities? as if God should seem to reply here, Let them not think it strange, seeing they have turned their backs upon me, and trusted to idols, which are but vanity, ,13; called vanity, not only because idols are as nothing, but because all the confidence that is put them is vain, and because idolaters are vain in their minds, and want understanding.
I have not forsaken them, but they me.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 8:19
Jeremiah 8:19 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?Ver. 19. Behold, the voice of the cry.] This was it that broke the good prophet’ s heart, the shrieks of his people. Is not the Lord in Zion?] Thus in their distress they leaned upon the Lord, and inquired after him, whom in their prosperity they made little reckoning of. Why have they provoked me to anger?] q.d., The fault is merely in themselves, who have driven me out from among them by their idolatries. Haec est querela hypocritarum. This is the complain of the hypocrites - Oecol.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 8:19
(19) Because of them that dwell . . .—The verse should read thus: Behold, the voice of the cry for help of the daughter of my people from the land of those that are far off. The prophet, dramatising the future, as before, in Jeremiah 8:14, hears the cry of the exiles in a far-off land, and that which they ask is this—“Is not Jehovah in Zion? Is not her king in her?” That question is asked half in despair, and half in murmuring complaint. But Jehovah himself returns the answer, and it comes in the form of another question, “Why have they provoked me to anger . . .?” They had forsaken Him before. He forsook them now and left them, for a time, to their own ways.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 8:19
19. from (mg. because of) a land that is very far off] There is no need to suspect the genuineness of the clause. Jeremiah is in thought anticipating the captivity, and the distressful cries of the exiles in the direction of their home. Is not … in her?] the words of the exiles. Why have they, etc.] This is the Lord’s reply. strange] foreign.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 8:19
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?
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 8:19
19. Because of them that dwell in a far country — Rather, from out of a far country, namely, the land of their captivity. The words which follow are spoken by the exiled Jews.
