Context of Jeremiah 30:14
12For thus says Adonai: “Your hurt is incurable, and your wound is severe. 13No one pleads your cause, for there is no remedy for your wound, no healing for you. All your lovers have forgotten you. They are not looking for you. For I wounded you as an enemy— with cruel punishment— because your iniquity is vast, your sins innumerable. 15Why cry about your fracture? Your pain has no cure. Because your iniquity is vast, your sins innumerable, I did these things to you. 16Yet all who devour you will be devoured, and all your foes—all of them— will go into captivity. Those plundering you will be plundered, and all preying on you I give as prey.
