Jeremiah 30:12-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹² So this is what the Lord says.
Your wound is incurable.
Your injury is severe.
¹³ There is no one to plead your cause,
no one to bind your wounds.
There are no healing medicines.
¹⁴ All who loved you have forgotten you.
They do not ask about you.
I have wounded you as an enemy would.
I have punished you as the cruel would,
because your guilt is so great,
because your sins are so many.

¹⁵ Why are you crying over your injury,
over your incurable wound?
It is because of your great guilt,
because of your many sins,
that I have done these things to you.
¹⁶ Yet all who devour you will be devoured.
All your enemies, every one of them, will go into captivity.
Those who plunder you will be plundered.
All who prey on you will become prey.
¹⁷ For I will restore your health,
and I will heal your wounds, declares the Lord,
because they have called you an outcast,
saying, “It is Zion—for whom no one cares.”
