14. All your lovers have forgotten you;they no longer care about you.I have attacked you like an enemy;your punishment has been harshbecause your sins are manyand your wickedness is great.
15. Complain no more about your injuries;there is no cure for you.I punished you like thisbecause your sins are manyand your wickedness is great.
16. But now, all who devour you will be devoured,and all your enemies will be taken away as prisoners.All who oppress you will be oppressed,and all who plunder you will be plundered.
17. I will make you well again;I will heal your wounds,though your enemies say,‘Zion is an outcast;no one cares about her.’I, the Lord, have spoken.”
18. The Lord says,“I will restore my people to their landand have mercy on every family;Jerusalem will be rebuilt,and its palace restored.
19. The people who live there will sing praise;they will shout for joy.By my blessing they will increase in numbers;my blessing will bring them honour.
