Contextual Overview

10 Therefore feare thou not, O my seruant Iacob, saith the Lord, neither be dismayed, O Israel; for loe, I will saue thee from afarre, and thy seede from the land of their captiuitie, and Iacob shall returne, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. 11 For I am with thee, sayeth the Lord, to saue thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I haue scattered thee, yet will I not make a full ende of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leaue thee altogether vnpunished. 12 For thus saith the Lord, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grieuous. 13 There is none to pleade thy cause, that thou mayest bee bonnd vp: thou hast no healing medicines. 14 All thy louers haue forgotten thee: they seeke thee not, for I haue wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruell one, for the multitude of thine iniquitie: because thy sinnes were increased. 15 Why cryest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable, for the multitude of thine iniquitie: because thy sinnes were increased, I haue done these things vnto thee. 16 Therefore all they that deuoure thee shalbe deuoured, and all thine aduersaries euery one of them shall goe into captiuitie: and they that spoile thee shall be a spoile, and all that pray vpon thee, will I giue for a pray. 17 For I will restore health vnto thee, and I will heale thee of thy wounds, sayth the Lord, because they called thee an outcast, saying; This is Zion whom no man seeketh after.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Why criest thou for thine affliction?.... Or complainest of the hardness, and heaviness, and continuance of it, when there was such a just cause for it? when men have sinned at a high rate, they have no reason to complain of the punishment of their sins, Lamentations 3:39;

thy sorrow [is] incurable, for the multitude of thine iniquity; such were the number of their iniquities, that they brought them into such a sorrowful and wretched estate and condition that there was no recovery of them, nor hope of recovery of them, by their own power, or by the help and assistance of others:

[because] thy sins were increased I have done these things unto thee; which shows the justice of God, and is a vindication of it under all the seeming severity of it. The Jews x acknowledge, that under the second temple there was a great increase of capital crimes, such as murders, adulteries, c. for which, and other sins, wrath came upon them to the uttermost by the Romans and they still continue under the visible marks of the divine displeasure.

x Misna Sota, c. 9. sect. 9.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Translate it:

Why criest thou because of thy breaking?

Because thy pain is grievous?

Because of the multitude of thine iniquity,

Because thy sins are strong,

I have done these things unto thee.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
