Jeremiah 8:22

No physician there -i. e., in Gilead. Balm used to grow in Israel for the healing of the nations. Her priests and prophets were the physicians. Has Israel then no balm for herself? Is there no physician in her who can bind up her wound? Gilead was to Israel what Israel spiritually was to the whole world. Why then is not the health ... recovered? -Or, “why then has no bandage,” or plaster of balsam, “been laid upon my people?”
