Jeremiah 30:16

Healing Zion's Wounds

¹⁵ Why do you cry about your wound, your injury that cannot be cured? I have done this to you. You are very wicked, and you have many sins. ¹⁶ ‘Therefore all who devour you will be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity;
And those who plunder you will be for plunder,
And all who prey upon you I will give for prey.
¹⁷ I will restore your health and heal your wounds, proclaims Jehovah. People call you an outcast: 'Zion, no one cares for you.'

For This Cause

Go into Captivity

Go Into Exile
