7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are through all the earth.
8 He hath always remembered his covenant, and promise, that he made to a thousand generations,

12 For thus saith the Lord, Thy bruising is incurable, and thy wound is dolorous.
13 There is none to judge thy cause, or to lay a plaster: there are no medicines, nor help for thee.
14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee: they seek thee not: for I have stricken thee with the wound of an enemy, and with a sharp chastisement for the multitude of thine iniquities, because thy sins were increased.
15 Why cryest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable, for the multitude of thine iniquities: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
16 [a]Therefore all they that devour thee, shall be devoured, and all thine enemies everyone shall go into captivity, and they that spoil thee, shall be spoiled, and all they that rob thee, will I give to be robbed.

20 Their children also shall be as afore time, and their congregation shall be established before me: and I will visit all that vex them.
21 And their [d]noble ruler shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them, and I will cause him to draw near and approach unto me: for who is this that directeth his [e]heart to come unto me, saith the Lord?
22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

38 That the saying of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, that he said, (A)Lord, who believed our report? and to whom is the [c]arm of the Lord revealed?
