“All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.”
All of Israel's lovers have forgotten her; her enemies have struck with no compassion. The shift from internal wound to external abandonment widens the picture of judgment. This comprehensive isolation serves as judgment but also as a catalyst for repentance and return to undivided trust in God.
