Jeremiah 30:12-17
Legacy Standard Bible
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.”’

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!’
