SCRIPTURE

"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. Why criest thou for thy hurt? thy pain is incurable: for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee." — Jeremiah 30:14-15 (ASV)

They seek you not; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one for the multitude of your iniquity; because your sins were increased. Why do you cry for your affliction? Your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity:

"These are dark words," says one. If they are incurable, what more need be said? Ah! The things incurable with men are curable with God. Sin is the malady that none can cure save God alone.
