12 “For thus says Yahweh,

‘Your injury is incurable,
And your (A)wound is desperately sick.
13 There is no one to plead your cause;
No healing for your sore,
(B)No recovery for you.
14 All your (C)lovers have forgotten you;
They do not seek you;
For I have [a](D)wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
With the (E)punishment of a (F)cruel one,
Because your (G)iniquity is numerous
And your (H)sins are mighty.
15 Why do you cry out over your injury?
Your pain is incurable.
Because your iniquity is numerous
And your sins are mighty,
I have done these things to you.
16 Therefore all who (I)devour you will be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, (J)will go into captivity;
And those who take you as spoil will be spoil,
And all who plunder you I will give as plunder.
17 For I will [b]restore you to [c](K)health,
And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares Yahweh,
‘Because they have called you a (L)banished one, saying:
“It is Zion; no one is seeking her.”’

12 For thus says Yahweh,

‘Your injury is incurable,
    your wound is overcome by sickness.
13 There is no one who pleads your cause,
    for your boil there is no healing for you.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you,
    they do not care for you.
I have struck you with the blow of an enemy,
    the punishment of the cruel,
because of the greatness of your guilt,
    your sins are numerous.
15 Why do you cry because of your wound?
    Your pain is incurable.
Because of the greatness of your guilt—your sins are vast—
    I have done these things to you.
16 Therefore[a] all those who devour you will be devoured,
    and all your foes, all of them will go into captivity,
and those who plunder you will be as plunder,
    and all those who plunder you I will make as plunder.
17 For I will present healing to you,
    and I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares[b] Yahweh.
‘Because they have called you an outcast, saying,
    “It is Zion, there is no one who cares for her.”’
