10. ‘Therefore do not fear, O My servant Jacob,’ says the Lord,‘Nor be dismayed, O Israel;For behold, I will save you from afar,And your seed from the land of their captivity.Jacob shall return, have rest and be quiet,And no one shall make him afraid.
11. For I am with you,’ says the Lord, ‘to save you;Though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you,Yet I will not make a complete end of you.But I will correct you in justice,And will not let you go altogether unpunished.’
12. “For thus says the Lord:‘Your affliction is incurable,Your wound is severe.
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 do not seek you;For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,With the chastisement of a cruel one,For the multitude of your iniquities,Because your sins have increased.
15. Why do you cry about your affliction?Your sorrow is incurable.Because of the multitude of your iniquities,Because your sins have increased,I have done these things to you.
