Here I want to clarify that the context to be considered is not just this verse but many verses above
like from Isaiah 5:
[24] Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
From the context I see that the people need not a healing but forgiveness but because of the hardened heart they not see what ought to be seen and to repent and to be forgiven.
