Healing Zion’s Wounds

12 For this is what the Lord says:

Your injury is incurable;
your wound most severe.(A)
13 You have no defender for your case.(B)
There is no remedy for your sores,
and no healing for you.[a]
14 All your lovers have forgotten you;(C)
they no longer look for you,
for I have struck you as an enemy would,
with the discipline(D) of someone cruel,(E)
because of your enormous guilt
and your innumerable sins.
15 Why do you cry out about your injury?
Your pain has no cure!
I have done these things to you
because of your enormous guilt
and your innumerable sins.(F)
16 Nevertheless, all who devoured you will be devoured,(G)
and all your adversaries—all of them—
will go off into exile.
Those who plunder you will be plundered,
and all who raid you will be raided.(H)
17 But I will bring you health(I)
and will heal you of your wounds—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
for they call you Outcast,
Zion whom no one cares about.
