10 ‘Therefore ^ado 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 ^bfrom 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 ^ayou,’ says the Lord, ‘to save you;
^bThough I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you,
^cYet I will not make a complete end of you.
But I will correct you ^din justice,
And will not let you go altogether unpunished.’  ‡

12 “For thus says the Lord:
^a‘Your affliction is incurable,
Your wound is severe. ‡

13 There is no one to plead your cause,
That you may be bound up;
^aYou have no healing medicines. ‡

14 ^aAll your lovers have forgotten you;
They do not seek you;
For I have wounded you with the wound ^bof an enemy,
With the chastisement ^cof a cruel one,
For the multitude of your iniquities,
^dBecause your sins have increased. ‡

15 Why ^ado 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. ‡
