Jeremiah 30:12-17
Verse 12 Thy bruise is incurable - אנוש anush, desperate, not incurable; for the cure is promised in Jer 30:17, I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds. Verse 13 There is none to plead thy cause - All thy friends and allies have forsaken thee. Verse 15 Thy sorrow is incurable - אנוש anush, desperate. See Jer 30:12. Verse 16 They that devour thee - The Chaldeans. Shall be devoured - By the Medes and Persians. All that prey upon thee will I give for a prey - The Assyrians were destroyed by the Babylonians; the Babylonians, by the Medes and Persians; the Egyptians and Persians were destroyed by the Greeks, under Alexander. All these nations are now extinct, but the Jews, as a distinct people, still exist.
