15 aWe looked for peace, but no good came;
for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
22 Is there no ebalm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why then has the health of the daughter of my people
not been restored?
19 eHave you utterly rejected Judah?
Does your soul loathe Zion?
Why have you struck us down
so that there is no healing for us?
fWe looked for peace, but no good came;
for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
18 Why is my pain unceasing,
my wound incurable,
refusing to be healed?
Will you be to me zlike a deceitful brook,
like waters that fail?
11 and shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: So will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter’s vessel, so that it can never be mended. Men shall rbury in Topheth because there will be no place else to bury.
11 Go up to Gilead, and take balm,
O virgin daughter of Egypt!
In vain you have used many medicines;
there is rno healing for you.
9 We would have healed Babylon,
but she was not healed.
Forsake her, and let us go
leach to his own country,
for mher judgment has reached up to heaven
and has been lifted up even to the skies.
