Jeremiah 30:12-17

Revised Standard Version

¹² “For thus says the Lord:
Your hurt is incurable,
    and your wound is grievous.
¹³ There is none to uphold your cause,
    no medicine for your wound,
    no healing for you.
¹⁴ All your lovers have forgotten you;
    they care nothing for you;
for I have dealt you the blow of an enemy,
    the punishment of a merciless foe,
because your guilt is great,
    because your sins are flagrant.
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!’
