15 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.
16 Therefore all who (A)devour you will be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, (B)will go into captivity;
And those who take you as spoil will be spoil,
And all who plunder you I will give as plunder.
17 For I will [a]restore you to [b](C)health,
And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares Yahweh,
‘Because they have called you a (D)banished one, saying:
“It is Zion; no one is seeking her.”’
