Jeremiah 30:14-15

30:14 All your allies have abandoned you. ¹ 

They no longer have any concern for you.

For I have attacked you like an enemy would.

I have chastened you cruelly.

For your wickedness is so great

and your sin is so much. ² 

30:15 Why do you complain about your injuries,

that your pain is incurable?

I have done all this to you

because your wickedness is so great

and your sin is so much.

Psalms 39:10

39:10 Please stop wounding me! ³ 

You have almost beaten me to death! ⁴

[39:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “from the hostility of your hand I have come to an end.”
