“For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.”
God promises to restore health and heal Israel's wounds, having cast her off with harsh words. The shift to healing imagery marks the turning point: God's judgment gives way to restoration. The acknowledgment that Israel was cast off reverses this status through God's promise to restore human dignity.
