Context of Jeremiah 30:13

11The Lord says, ‘I am with you and I will save you. I have sent you away to live in foreign lands. That was the punishment that you deserved. I will completely destroy the nations where I sent you to live. But I will not completely destroy you. I will certainly punish you, but only as much as you deserve.’ 12The Lord says this to Zion's people: ‘You have received very bad wounds. Nobody can make you well again. There is no one who will speak on your behalf. There is no medicine that can make you well. 14All your friends have turned away from you. They do not want to help you in your troubles. I have hurt you, in the way that an enemy might attack you. You have lived in a very wicked way, and you are guilty of many sins. So I had to punish you, to teach you what is right. 15You complain about your wounds. You say that your pain will never get better. But I had to punish you, because you are very wicked, and you are guilty of many sins.
