12 For thus says the Lord:
Your hurt is incurable;
    your wound is grievous.(A)
13 There is no one to uphold your cause,
    no medicine for your wound,
    no healing for you.(B)
14 All your lovers have forgotten you;
    they care nothing for you,
for I have dealt you the blow of an enemy,
    the punishment of a merciless foe,
because your guilt is great,
    because your sins are so numerous.(C)
15 Why do you cry out over your hurt?
    Your pain is incurable.
Because your guilt is great,
    because your sins are so numerous,
    I have done these things to you.
16 Therefore all who devour you shall be devoured,
    and all your foes, every one of them, shall go into captivity;
those who plunder you shall be plundered,
    and all who prey on you I will make a prey.(D)
17 For I will restore health to you,
    and your wounds I will heal,
            says the Lord,
because they have called you an outcast:
    “It is Zion; no one cares for her!”(E)

12 “This is what the Lord says:

“‘Your wound(A) is incurable,
    your injury beyond healing.(B)
13 There is no one to plead your cause,(C)
    no remedy for your sore,
    no healing(D) for you.
14 All your allies(E) have forgotten you;
    they care nothing for you.
I have struck you as an enemy(F) would
    and punished you as would the cruel,(G)
because your guilt is so great
    and your sins(H) so many.
15 Why do you cry out over your wound,
    your pain that has no cure?(I)
Because of your great guilt and many sins
    I have done these things to you.(J)

16 “‘But all who devour(K) you will be devoured;
    all your enemies will go into exile.(L)
Those who plunder(M) you will be plundered;
    all who make spoil of you I will despoil.
17 But I will restore you to health
    and heal(N) your wounds,’
declares the Lord,
‘because you are called an outcast,(O)
    Zion for whom no one cares.’(P)

only bruises and sores
    and bleeding wounds;
they have not been drained or bound up
