Jeremiah 30:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ All those nations who were your friends have forgotten you.
    They don’t care about you.
I hurt you as an enemy would.
    I punished you very hard.
I did this because your guilt was so great.
    I did this because your sins were so many.
¹⁵ Why are you crying about your injury?
    There is no cure for your pain.
I, the Lord, did these things to you because of your great guilt.
    I did these things because of your many sins.
¹⁶ But those nations that destroyed you will now be destroyed.
    Your enemies will become captives.
Those who stole from you will have their own things stolen.
    Those who took things from you in war will have their own things taken.
