Jeremiah
Jeremiah 30:12–15
12For this is what the LORD says:
“Your injury is incurable;
your wound is grievous.
13There is no one to plead your cause,
no remedy for your sores,
no recovery for you.
14All your lovers have forgotten you;
they no longer seek you,
for I have struck you as an enemy would,
with the discipline of someone cruel,
because of your great iniquity
and your numerous sins.
15Why do you cry out over your wound?
Your pain has no cure!
Because of your great iniquity
and your numerous sins
I have done these things to you.
