Healing Zion’s Wounds

12 For this is what the Lord says:

Your injury is incurable;
your wound most severe.(A)
13 No one takes up the case for your sores.(B)
There is no healing for you.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you;

with the discipline(C) of someone cruel,(D)
because of your enormous guilt
and your innumerable sins.

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