11. I am with you and will save you,’ declares the Lord. ‘Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you but only in due measure; I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’
12. “This is what the Lord says: “ ‘Your wound is incurable, your injury beyond healing.
13. There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sore, no healing for you.
14. 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.
15. 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.
