THE MESSAGE
"This is God 's Message: "‘You're a burned-out case, as good as dead. Everyone has given up on you. You're hopeless. All your fair-weather friends have skipped town without giving you a second thought. But I delivered the knockout blow, a punishment you will never forget, Because of the enormity of your guilt, the endless list of your sins. So why all this self-pity, licking your wounds? You deserve all this, and more. Because of the enormity of your guilt, the endless list of your sins, I've done all this to you.
New American Standard Bible (1995)
"For thus says the LORD, 'Your wound is incurable And your injury is serious.

Contextual Overview

10Fear not, O Jacob My servant,' declares Yahweh,‘And do not be dismayed, O Israel;For behold, I will save you from afarAnd your seed from the land of their captivity.And Jacob will return and will be quiet and at ease,And no one will make him tremble. 11For I am with you,' declares Yahweh, ‘to save you;For I will make a complete destruction of all the nations where I have scattered you,Only I will not make a complete destruction of you.But I will chasten you justlyAnd will by no means leave you unpunished.' 12"For thus says Yahweh,‘Your injury is incurable,And your wound is desperately sick. 13There is no one to plead your cause;No healing for your sore,No recovery for you. 14All your lovers have forgotten you;They do not seek you;For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,With the punishment of a cruel one,Because your iniquity is numerousAnd your sins are mighty. 15Why do you cry out over your injury?Your pain is incurable.Because your iniquity is numerousAnd your sins are mighty,I have done these things to you. 16Therefore all who devour you will be devoured;And all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity;And those who take you as spoil will be spoil,And all who plunder you I will give as plunder. 17For I will restore you to health,And I will heal you of your wounds,' declares Yahweh,‘Because they have called you a banished one, saying:"It is Zion; no one is seeking her."'

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For thus saith the Lord, thy bruise [is] incurable,.... By themselves or others, in all human appearance; there was no help for them from men; their case seemed desperate; there was no likelihood of their recovery to their former state and glory, as at this day the case of the Jews appears to be; there seems to be no probability of their conversion and restoration; and whenever it is, it will be as life from the dead, Romans 11:15; like quickening Ezekiel's dry bones, or raising persons from the dead, which none but the hand of omnipotence can effect:

[and] thy wound [is] grievous; an expression signifying the same as before: the metaphor is taken from a body wounded and bruised in such a manner, as to be past the skill of the most able surgeon to cure it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Incurable - Mortal, fatal.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 30:12. Thy bruise is incurable — אנוש anush, desperate, not incurable; for the cure is promised in Jeremiah 30:17, I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds.
