10. Therefore don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says the Lord.Don’t be dismayed, Israel.For, behold, I will save you from afar,and save your offspring from the land of their captivity.Jacob will return,and will be quiet and at ease.No one will make him afraid.
11. For I am with you, says the Lord, to save you;for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you,but I will not make a full end of you;but I will correct you in measure,and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
12. For the Lord says,“Your hurt is incurable.Your wound is grievous.
13. There is no one to plead your cause,that you may be bound up.You have no healing medicines.
14. All your lovers have forgotten you.They don’t seek you.For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,with the chastisement of a cruel one,for the greatness of your iniquity,because your sins were increased.
15. Why do you cry over your injury?Your pain is incurable.For the greatness of your iniquity,because your sins have increased,I have done these things to you.
16. Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured.All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity.Those who plunder you will be plunder.I will make all who prey on you become prey.
17. For I will restore health to you,and I will heal you of your wounds,” says the Lord;“because they have called you an outcast,saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’”
