Jeremiah 30:12–15

“For thus says the Lord:

Your hurt is incurable,

and your wound is grievous.

There is none to uphold your cause,

no medicine for your wound,

no healing for you.

All your lovers have forgotten you;

they care nothing for you;

for I have dealt you the blow of an enemy,

the punishment of a merciless foe,

because your guilt is great,

because your sins are flagrant.

Why do you cry out over your hurt?

Your pain is incurable.

Because your guilt is great,

because your sins are flagrant,

I have done these things to you.

“This is what the Lord says:

“ ‘Your wound is incurable,

your injury beyond healing.

There is no one to plead your cause,

no remedy for your sore,

no healing for you.

All your allies have forgotten you;

they care nothing for you.

I have struck you as an enemy would

and punished you as would the cruel,

because your guilt is so great

and your sins so many.

Why do you cry out over your wound,

your pain that has no cure?

Because of your great guilt and many sins

I have done these things to you.

For this is what the Lord says:

Your injury is incurable;

your wound most severe.

You have no defender for your case.

There is no remedy for your sores,

and no healing for you.

All your lovers have forgotten you;

they no longer look for you,

for I have struck you as an enemy would,

with the discipline of someone cruel,

because of your enormous guilt

and your innumerable sins.

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.

For thus says Yahweh,

‘Your injury is incurable,

your wound is overcome by sickness.

There is no one who pleads your cause,

for your boil there is no healing for you.

All your lovers have forgotten you,

they do not care for you.

I have struck you with the blow of an enemy,

the punishment of the cruel,

because of the greatness of your guilt,

your sins are numerous.

Why do you cry because of your wound?

Your pain is incurable.

Because of the greatness of your guilt—your sins are vast—

I have done these things to you.

For thus saith the Lord,

Thy bruise is incurable,

And thy wound is grievous.

There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up:

Thou hast no healing medicines.

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.

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.
