“You people of Israel and Judah have a wound that cannot be cured.
    You have an injury that will not heal.
13 There is no one to care for your sores,
    so you will not be healed.
14 You became friends with many nations,
    but those nations don’t care about you.

    I punished you very hard.
I did this because of your great guilt.
    I did this because of your many sins.
