There are 12 matches:
Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why then has the health of my poor people
not been restored?
For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah:
You are like Gilead to me,
like the summit of Lebanon;
but I swear that I will make you a desert,
an uninhabited city.*
Go up to Gilead, and take balm,
O virgin daughter Egypt!
In vain you have used many medicines;
there is no healing for you.
I will restore Israel to its pasture, and it shall feed on Carmel and in Bashan, and on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead its hunger shall be satisfied.
On the east side, between Hauran and Damascus; along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel; to the eastern sea and as far as Tamar.* This shall be the east side.
Gilead is a city of evildoers,
tracked with blood.
In Gilead* there is iniquity,
they shall surely come to nothing.
In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls,
so their altars shall be like stone heaps
on the furrows of the field.
Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Damascus,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;*
because they have threshed Gilead
with threshing-sledges of iron.
Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of the Ammonites,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;*
because they have ripped open pregnant women in Gilead
in order to enlarge their territory.
Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau,
and those of the Shephelah the land of the Philistines;
they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria,
and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
Shepherd your people with your staff,
the flock that belongs to you,
which lives alone in a forest
in the midst of a garden land;
let them feed in Bashan and Gilead
as in the days of old.
I will bring them home from the land of Egypt,
and gather them from Assyria;
I will bring them to the land of Gilead and to Lebanon,
until there is no room for them.
