9. But they shall serve the Lord their Godand David their king,whom I will raise up for them.
10. Therefore do not fear, O My servant Jacob,says the Lord,nor be dismayed, O Israel;for I will save you from afar,and your seed from the land of their captivity.And Jacob shall return and shall be in rest and be quiet,and no one shall make him afraid.
11. For I am with you, says the Lord,to save you.Although I make a full end of all nationswherever I have scattered you,yet I will not make a full end of you.But I will correct you in measureand will not leave you altogether unpunished.
12. For thus says the Lord: Your bruise is incurableand your wound is severe.
13. There is no one to plead your causethat you may be bound up.You have no healing medicines.
14. All your lovers have forgotten you;they do not seek you;for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,with the chastisement of a cruel one,because of the multitude of your iniquities, because your sins are numerous.
15. Why do you cry because of your affliction?Your sorrow is incurable.Because of the multitude of your iniquities, because your sins are numerous,I have done these things to you.
16. Therefore all who devour you will be devoured;and all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity.And those who plunder you will become plunder,and all who prey upon you I will give for prey.
