Jeremiah 30:12-17
New King James Version
12 “For thus says the Lord:
(A)‘Your affliction is incurable,
Your wound is severe.
13 There is no one to plead your cause,
That you may be bound up;
(B)You have no healing medicines.
14 (C)All your lovers have forgotten you;
They do not seek you;
For I have wounded you with the wound (D)of an enemy,
With the chastisement (E)of a cruel one,
For the multitude of your iniquities,
(F)Because your sins have increased.
15 Why (G)do you cry about your affliction?
Your sorrow is incurable.
Because of the multitude of your iniquities,
Because your sins have increased,
I have done these things to you.
16 ‘Therefore all those who devour you (H)shall be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into (I)captivity;
Those who plunder you shall become (J)plunder,
And all who prey upon you I will make a (K)prey.
17 (L)For I will restore health to you
And heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord,
‘Because they called you an outcast saying:
“This is Zion;
No one seeks her.” ’
Jeremiah 30:12-17
21st Century King James Version
12 “For thus saith the Lord: ‘Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.
13 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up; thou hast no healing medicines.
14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one for the multitude of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased.
15 Why criest thou for thine affliction? Thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that despoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds,’ saith the Lord, ‘because they called thee an outcast, saying, “This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.”’
