Jeremiah 30:14

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;

Bible in Basic English

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

13There is no help for your wound, there is nothing to make you well.

15Why are you crying for help because of your wound? for your pain may never be taken away: because your evil-doing was so great and because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.
