Jeremiah 30:12 - 30:17

12 “For thus says Yahweh,

‘Your injury is incurable,

And your wound is desperately sick.

There is no one to plead your cause;

No healing for your sore,

No recovery for you.

All your lovers have forgotten you;

They do not seek you;

For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,

With the punishment of a cruel one,

Because your iniquity is numerous

And your sins are mighty.

Why do you cry out over your injury?

Your pain is incurable.

Because your iniquity is numerous

And your sins are mighty,

I have done these things to you.

Therefore all who devour you will be devoured;

And all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity;

And those who take you as spoil will be spoil,

And all who plunder you I will give as plunder.

For I will restore you to health,

And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares Yahweh,

‘Because they have called you a banished one, saying:

“It is Zion; no one is seeking her.”’
