15 Why do you cry because of your affliction?
    Your sorrow is incurable.
Because of the multitude of your iniquities, because your sins are numerous,
    I have done these things to you.

16 Therefore all who devour you will be devoured;
    and all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity.
And those who plunder you will become plunder,
    and all who prey upon you I will give for prey.
17 For I will restore health to you,
    and I will heal you of your wounds,
    says the Lord,
because they called you an outcast, saying,
    “This is Zion whom no man cares for.”
