²² Is there no ^(A)balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
^(B)Why then has not the ^[a]health of the daughter of my people ^[b]been restored?

¹² “For this is what the Lord says:
‘Your broken limb is irreparable,
And your ^(A)wound is incurable.
¹³ There is no one to plead your cause;
No healing for your sore,
^(B)No recovery for you.
¹⁴ All your ^(C)lovers have forgotten you,
They do not seek you;
For I have ^(D)wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
With the ^(E)punishment of a ^(F)cruel one,
Because your ^(G)wrongdoing is great,
And your ^(H)sins are numerous.
¹⁵ Why do you cry out over your injury?
Your pain is incurable.
Because your wrongdoing is great
And your sins are numerous,
I have done these things to you.
