Jeremiah 30:12-17
New American Standard Bible
12 “For this is what the Lord says:
‘Your broken limb is irreparable,
And your (A)wound is incurable.
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 (D)wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
With the (E)punishment of a (F)cruel one,
Because your (G)wrongdoing is great,
And your (H)sins are numerous.
15 Why do you cry out over your injury?
Your pain is incurable.
Because your wrongdoing is great
And your sins are numerous,
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 plunder you will become plunder,
And all who plunder you I will turn into plunder.
17 For I will [a]restore you to [b](K)health
And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares the Lord,
‘Because they have called you an (L)outcast, saying:
“It is Zion; no one [c]cares for her.”’

New Living Translation
12 This is what the Lord says:
“Your injury is incurable—
a terrible wound.
13 There is no one to help you
or to bind up your injury.
No medicine can heal you.
14 All your lovers—your allies—have left you
and do not care about you anymore.
I have wounded you cruelly,
as though I were your enemy.
For your sins are many,
and your guilt is great.
15 Why do you protest your punishment—
this wound that has no cure?
I have had to punish you
because your sins are many
and your guilt is great.
16 “But all who devour you will be devoured,
and all your enemies will be sent into exile.
All who plunder you will be plundered,
and all who attack you will be attacked.
17 I will give you back your health
and heal your wounds,” says the Lord.
“For you are called an outcast—
‘Jerusalem[a] for whom no one cares.’”
