I am burning with fever and I am near death.

When I did not confess my sins, I was worn out from crying all day long.

Why do you keep on rebelling? Do you want to be punished even more? Israel, your head is already covered with wounds, and your heart and mind are sick.

From head to foot there is not a healthy spot on your body. You are covered with bruises and sores and open wounds. Your wounds have not been cleaned or bandaged. No medicine has been put on them.

Is there no medicine in Gilead? Are there no doctors there? Why, then, have my people not been healed?
