13 There is no one to plead your cause.
    There is no medicine for your sore;[a]
        no healing for you.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you;
    they don’t seek you.
Indeed, I’ve struck you down
    with the blow of an enemy,
        with the punishment of a cruel foe[b]
because your wickedness is great,
    and your sins are numerous.
15 Why do you cry out because of your injury?
    Your wound won’t heal.
Because your wickedness is severe,
    and your sins are numerous,
        I’ve done all these things to you.
