Isaiah 49:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ The Lord answers, “Can a woman forget the baby she nurses?
    Can she feel no kindness for the child ·to which she gave birth [of her womb]?
Even if she could forget her children,
    I will not forget you.
¹⁶ See, I have ·written [engraved; inscribed] your name on my ·hand [palms].
    ·Jerusalem, I always think about your walls [^LYour walls are always before me; ^Cdestroyed by the Babylonians].
¹⁷ Your children ·will soon return to you [^Lhurry; hasten],
    and the people who defeated you and destroyed you will leave.
