Jeremiah 30:12-17

YAHWEH says: “Your wound is incurable; your injuries are so serious, they’re beyond healing. Everyone has given up on you. At least for an ulcer there are remedies, but for you, there’s no cure at all. All those ‘lovers’ you had have abandoned you; they could not care less. Yes, I struck you with cruel punishment because of your great guilt and countless sins. I struck you mercilessly like you were my enemy. There is no point in crying out over your pain, for your wound is incurable. I have treated you like this because of your great guilt and countless sins. “But rest assured, all those who devoured you will be devoured; all your enemies, every one of them, will go into captivity. Those who devastated you will be devastated, and all who made you their prey, I will make a prey. For I, YAHWEH, say to you who were once called ‘Outcast,’ I will heal your wounds. And to you who were once called ‘Forgotten Zion,’ I will restore your health.”
