“There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.”
No one pleads Israel's cause and there is no healing remedy—a picture of total abandonment and desolation. The accumulation of negatives emphasizes the depth of Israel's isolation and seeming finality of judgment. Theologically, this void makes space for God alone to act; when all human helpers fail, the people must turn to God as their only hope.
