Context — The Lament of Jerusalemgenerated
Jeremiah 8:20 captures the sorrow of the people of Jerusalem as they reflect on the passing of the harvest and summer without experiencing salvation. This lament follows a cry for help in Jeremiah 8:19 and precedes further expressions of grief in Jeremiah 8:21. The imagery of harvest and summer emphasizes the urgency and finality of their situation, as they feel abandoned and unrescued by God amidst their suffering.

The Key Word — נוֹשָֽׁעְנוּ, no.Sha.'e.nugenerated
The word יָשַׁע (yasha`) means to save or deliver, indicating a state of being rescued from danger or trouble. It is often used in contexts of physical or moral salvation, reflecting a deep need for deliverance.
In this verse, the use of the first-person plural form we have been saved highlights the collective despair of the people. They express a sense of hopelessness, as they have not experienced the salvation they long for, despite the passing of significant seasons.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of two main clauses linked by a conjunction: the first clause describes the passing of the harvest and summer, while the second expresses the people's lack of salvation. The structure emphasizes the contrast between the changing seasons and the unchanged state of the people.
The finite verbs עָבַר (it has passed) and כָּלָה (it has come to an end) govern the respective subjects, קָצִ֖יר (harvest) and קָ֑יִץ (summer), establishing a rhythmic flow that highlights the urgency of their situation.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates עָבַר as διῆλθεν (dielthen), which means 'to pass through' or 'to go by.' This choice suggests a more active transition than the Hebrew, emphasizing the movement of time.
For יָשַׁע, the LXX uses διεσώθημεν (diesōthēmen), meaning 'we have been saved.' This aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning but may imply a more definitive state of salvation than the original Hebrew conveys.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

They are as men in a year of famine—“The harvest is past,” and there has been no crop for men to reap. Summer.—In Isaiah 16:9; Jeremiah 40:10, and elsewhere, the word is rendered by “summer fruits.” “The summer” (better, the fruit-gathering) is ended, and yet they are not saved from misery and death. All has failed alike. The whole formula had probably become proverbial for extremest misery. It is well to remember that the barley-harvest coincided with the Passover, the wheat-harvest with Pentecost, the fruit-gathering…

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges20. The harvest lasted from April to June; later came “the summer,” better (mg.), ingathering of summer fruits. As when the harvest was bad, there remained yet hopes from the yield of grapes, figs, olives, etc., and till these hopes had failed to be realised, men did not despair; so the people had lost one chance after another, and were now without any hope. It is probably a proverbial saying applied by the prophet.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads: עָבַ֥ר קָצִ֖יר כָּ֣לָה קָ֑יִץ וַאֲנַ֖חְנוּ ל֥וֹא נוֹשָֽׁעְנוּ׃. The Septuagint matches all seven words, indicating a close correspondence in meaning. The Dead Sea Scrolls contain the same words, but seven were supplied by an editor due to damage.
עָבַ֥ר קָצִ֖יר כָּ֣לָה קָ֑יִץ וַאֲנַ֖חְנוּ ל֥וֹא נוֹשָֽׁעְנוּ׃
7 of the 7 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.

har'-vest (qatsir; therismos): To many of us, harvest time is of little concern, because in our complex life we are far removed from the actual production of our food supplies, but for the Hebrew people, as for those in any agricultural district today, the harvest was a most important season (Ge 8:22; 45:6). Events were reckoned from harvests (Ge 30:14; Jos 3:15; Jud 15:1; Ru 1:22; 2:23; 1Sa 6:13; 2Sa 21:9; 23:13). The three principal feasts of the Jews corresponded to the three harvest seasons (
Harvest
The season for gathering grain or fruit. On the 16th day of Abib (or April) a handful of ripe ears of corn was offered as a first-fruit before the Lord, and immediately after this the harvest commenced (Lev. 23:9-14; 2 Sam. 21:9, 10; Ruth 2:23). It began with the feast of Passover and ended with Pentecost, thus lasting for seven weeks (Ex. 23:16). The harvest was a season of joy (Ps. 126:1-6; Isa. 9:3).
