Contextual Overview
13I will gather them and bring them to an end. 14Why are we just sitting here?Gather together; let us enter the fortified citiesand perish there,for the Lord our God has destroyed us.He has given us poisoned water to drink,because we have sinned against the Lord. 15We hoped for peace, but there was nothing good;for a time of healing, but there was only terror. 16From Dan, the snorting of horses is heard.At the sound of the neighing of mighty steeds,the whole land quakes.They come to devour the land and everything in it,the city and all its residents. 17Indeed, I am about to send snakes among you,poisonous vipers that cannot be charmed.They will bite you. 18My joy has flown away;grief has settled on me.My heart is sick. 19Listen—the cry of my dear peoplefrom a faraway land,“Is the Lord no longer in Zion,her King not within her?”Why have they angered mewith their carved images,with their worthless foreign idols? 20Harvest has passed, summer has ended,but we have not been saved.21I am broken by the brokennessof my dear people.I mourn; horror has taken hold of me. 22Is there no balm in Gilead?Is there no physician there?So why has the healing of my dear peoplenot come about?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.''
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The summer - Rather, the fruit-gathering, which follows the grain-harvest. The grain has failed; the fruit-gathering has also proved unproductive; so despair seized the people when they saw opportunities for their deliverance again and again pass by, until God seemed utterly to have forgotten them.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 8:20. The harvest is past — The siege of Jerusalem lasted two years; for Nebuchadnezzar came against it in the ninth year of Zedekiah, and the city was taken in the eleventh; see 2 Kings 25:1-3. This seems to have been a proverb: "We expected deliverance the first year - none came. We hoped for it the second year - we are disappointed; we are not saved - no deliverance is come."
