HEALING ZION’S WOUNDS

12 For this is what the Lord says:

Your injury is incurable;

your wound most severe.n

13 You have no defender for your case.o

There is no remedy for your sores,

and no healing for you.B

14 All your lovers have forgotten you;p

they no longer look for you,

for I have struck you as an enemy would,

with the disciplineq of someone cruel,r

because of your enormous guilt

and your innumerable sins.

15 Why do you cry out about your injury?

Your pain has no cure!

I have done these things to you

because of your enormous guilt

and your innumerable sins.s
