Healing Zion’s Wounds

12 For this is what the Lord says:

Your injury is incurable;
your wound most severe.(A)
13 You have no defender for your case.(B)
There is no remedy for your sores,
and no healing for you.[a]
14 All your lovers have forgotten you;(C)

because of your enormous guilt
and your innumerable sins.

because your guilt is so great
    and your sins(H) so many.
