Your lovers have no more thought for you, they go after you no longer; for I have given you the wound of a hater, even cruel punishment;

For I will make you healthy again and I will make you well from your wounds, says the Lord; because they have given you the name of an outlaw, saying, It is Zion cared for by no man.
