The singular noun marks healing as something lacking after judgment or disaster: in 2 Chronicles 36:16 the APB renders the outcome as “there was no healing,” and in Proverbs 29:1 it likewise concludes that after sudden breaking “there is no healing.” It is also sought or given in recovery: Jeremiah 14:19 contrasts a hoped-for “time of healing” with terror, Jeremiah 33:6 speaks of bringing “health and healing,” while Proverbs 12:18 and Proverbs 4:22 place healing alongside the beneficial outcome of wise speech and words that give life.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the noun with “healing,” including its absence, a hoped-for time of healing, and promised healing; Jeremiah 33:6 pairs it with “health.” In several proverbial clauses its specific English alignment remains uncertain because the translation renders the whole statement loosely.
