11. for I am with you—oracle of the Lord—to save you.I will bring to an end all the nationsamong whom I have scattered you;but you I will not bring to an end.I will chastise you as you deserve,I will not let you go unpunished.
12. For thus says the Lord:Incurable is your wound,grievous your injury;
13. There is none to plead your case,no remedy for your running sore,no healing for you.
14. All your lovers have forgotten you,they do not seek you out.I struck you as an enemy would strike,punishing you cruelly.
15. Why cry out over your wound?There is no relief for your pain.Because of your great guilt,your numerous sins,I have done this to you.
16. Yet all who devour you shall be devoured,all your enemies shall go into exile.All who plunder you shall become plunder,all who pillage you I will hand over to be pillaged.
