SCRIPTURE

"There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not: for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased." — Jeremiah 30:13-14 (ASV)

There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines. All your lovers have forgotten you:

Out of sight, out of mind. They have forgotten you. Oh! When God wounds, it is a wound indeed. When he breaks the heart, who can comfort? If he only speaks, the earth trembles. He touches the hills, and they smoke.

"When he shuts up in long despair,
Who can remove the iron bar?"
