15 Why do you cry out over your hurt?
    Your pain is incurable.
Because your guilt is great,
    because your sins are flagrant,
    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 despoil you shall become a spoil,
    and all who prey on you I will make a prey.
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, for whom no one cares!’
