Contextual Overview

10 "Therefore do not fear, O My servant Jacob,' says the LORD, "Nor be dismayed, O Israel; For behold, I will save you from afar, And your seed from the land of their captivity. Jacob shall return, have rest and be quiet, And no one shall make him afraid. 11 For I am with you,' says the LORD, "to save you; Though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you, Yet I will not make a complete end of you. But I will correct you in justice, And will not let you go altogether unpunished.' 12 "For thus says the LORD: "Your affliction is incurable, Your wound is severe. 13 There is no one to plead your cause, That you may be bound up; You have no healing medicines. 14 All your lovers have forgotten you; They do not seek you; For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, With the chastisement of a cruel one, For the multitude of your iniquities, Because your sins have increased. 15 Why do you cry about your affliction? Your sorrow is incurable. Because of the multitude of your iniquities, Because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you. 16 "Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured; And all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; Those who plunder you shall become plunder, And all who prey upon you I will make a prey. 17 For I will restore health to you And heal you of your wounds,' says the LORD, "Because they called you an outcast saying: "This is Zion; No one seeks her."'

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

Verse Jeremiah 30:15. Thy sorrow is incurable — אנוש anush, desperate. See Jeremiah 30:12.
