Contextual Overview
13 "‘I will take away their crops, says the Lord . There will be no grapes on the vine and no figs on the fig tree. Even the leaves will dry up and die. I will take away what I gave them.'" 14 "Why are we just sitting here? Let's get together! We have sinned against the Lord , so he has given us poisoned water to drink. Come, let's run to the strong, walled cities. The Lord our God has decided that we must die, so let's die there. 15 We hoped to have peace, but nothing good has come. We hoped for a time when he would heal us, but only terror has come. 16 From the land of Dan, the snorting of the enemy's horses is heard. The ground shakes from the neighing of their large horses. They have come and destroyed the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there." 17 "Look! I am sending poisonous snakes to attack you. These snakes cannot be charmed, and they will bite you," says the Lord . 18 God, you are my comfort when I am very sad and when I am afraid. 19 Listen to the sound of my people. They cry from a faraway land: "Isn't the Lord still in Jerusalem? Isn't Jerusalem's king still there?" But God says, "Why did the people make me angry by worshiping idols, useless foreign idols?" 20 And the people say, "Harvest time is over; summer has ended, and we have not been saved." 21 Because my people are crushed, I am crushed. I cry loudly and am afraid for them. 22 Isn't there balm in the land of Gilead? Isn't there a doctor there? So why aren't the hurts of my people healed?

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."
