Jeremiah 30:12-17
New American Standard Bible
12 “For this is what the Lord says:
‘Your broken limb is irreparable,
And your (A)wound is incurable.
13 There is no one to plead your cause;
No healing for your sore,
(B)No recovery for you.
14 All your (C)lovers have forgotten you,
They do not seek you;
For I have (D)wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
With the (E)punishment of a (F)cruel one,
Because your (G)wrongdoing is great,
And your (H)sins are numerous.
15 Why do you cry out over your injury?
Your pain is incurable.
Because your wrongdoing is great
And your sins are numerous,
I have done these things to you.
16 Therefore all who (I)devour you will be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, (J)will go into captivity;
And those who plunder you will become plunder,
And all who plunder you I will turn into plunder.
17 For I will [a]restore you to [b](K)health
And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares the Lord,
‘Because they have called you an (L)outcast, saying:
“It is Zion; no one [c]cares for her.”’

The Healing of Zion’s Wounds
12 “For this is what the Lord says:
‘Your injury won’t heal;
your wound is severe.
13 There is no one to plead your cause.
There is no medicine for your sore;[a]
no healing for you.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you;
they don’t seek you.
Indeed, I’ve struck you down
with the blow of an enemy,
with the punishment of a cruel foe[b]
because your wickedness is great,
and your sins are numerous.
15 Why do you cry out because of your injury?
Your wound won’t heal.
Because your wickedness is severe,
and your sins are numerous,
I’ve done all these things to you.
16 In addition, all who devour you will be devoured,
and all your oppressors—all of them—
will go into captivity.
Those who plunder you will become plunder,
and all who spoil you will become spoil.
17 Indeed, I’ll bring you healing,
and I’ll heal you of your wounds,’
declares the Lord,
‘because they have called you an outcast
and have said,[c] “It is Zion, no one cares for her!”’”[d]

Jeremiah 30:12-17
New International Version
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)
