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.

Contextual Overview

¹⁰ "So people of Jacob, my servants, don't be afraid. Israel, don't be frightened," says the Lord . "I will soon save you from that faraway place where you are captives. I will save your family from that land. The people of Jacob will be safe and have peace again; there will be no enemy to frighten them. ¹¹ I am with you and will save you," says the Lord . "I will completely destroy all those nations where I scattered you, but I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you fairly, but I will still punish you." ¹² This is what the Lord said: "You people have a wound that cannot be cured; your injury will not heal. ¹³ There is no one to argue your case and no cure for your sores. So you will not be healed. ¹⁴ All those nations who were your friends have forgotten you. They don't care about you. I have hurt you as an enemy would. I punished you very hard, because your guilt was so great and your sins were so many. ¹⁵ Why are you crying out about your injury? There is no cure for your pain. I did these things to you because of your great guilt, because of your many sins. ¹⁶ But all those nations that destroyed you will now be destroyed. All your enemies will become captives in other lands. Those who stole from you will have their own things stolen. Those who took things from you in war will have their own things taken. ¹⁷ I will bring back your health and heal your injuries," says the Lord , "because other people forced you away. They said about you, ‘No one cares about Jerusalem!'"

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.
