‘Your injury won’t heal;
    your wound is severe.
¹³ There is no one to plead your cause.
    There is no medicine for your sore;^[a]
        no healing for you.
¹⁴ All your lovers have forgotten you;
    they don’t seek you.
Indeed, I’ve struck you down
    with the blow of an enemy,
        with the punishment of a cruel foe^[b]
because your wickedness is great,
    and your sins are numerous.
¹⁵ Why do you cry out because of your injury?
    Your wound won’t heal.
Because your wickedness is severe,
    and your sins are numerous,
        I’ve done all these things to you.
¹⁶ In addition, all who devour you will be devoured,
    and all your oppressors—all of them—
        will go into captivity.
Those who plunder you will become plunder,
    and all who spoil you will become spoil.
¹⁷ Indeed, I’ll bring you healing,
    and I’ll heal you of your wounds,’
        declares the Lord,
‘because they have called you an outcast
    and have said,^[c] “It is Zion, no one cares for her!”’”^[d]
