15 Why are you crying out about your injury?
    There is no cure for your pain.
I did these things to you because of your great guilt,
    because of your many sins.
16 But all those nations that destroyed you will now be destroyed.
    All your enemies will become captives in other lands.
Those who stole from you will have their own things stolen.
    Those who took things from you in war will have their own things taken.
17 I will bring back your health
    and heal your injuries,” says the Lord,
“because other people forced you away.
    They said about you, ‘No one cares about Jerusalem!’”
