12 The Lord says this to Zion's people:

‘You have received very bad wounds.
    Nobody can make you well again.
13 There is no one who will speak on your behalf.
    There is no medicine that can make you well.
14 All your friends have turned away from you.
    They do not want to help you in your troubles.
I have hurt you,
    in the way that an enemy might attack you.
You have lived in a very wicked way,
    and you are guilty of many sins.
So I had to punish you,
    to teach you what is right.

14 All your allies(E) have forgotten you;

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