15 Why do you cry out about your wound?
    Your pain can’t be healed.
Your guilt is very great.
    And you have committed many sins.
    That is why I have done all these things to you.

16 “But everyone who destroys you will be destroyed.
    All your enemies will be forced
    to leave their countries.
Those who steal from you will be stolen from.
    I will take the belongings
    of those who take things from you.
17 But I will make you healthy again.
    I will heal your wounds,” announces the Lord.
“That’s because you have been thrown out.
    You are called Zion, the one no one cares about.”
