Isaiah 49:15-17
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 49:15-17
Contemporary English Version
15 The Lord answered,
“Could a mother forget a child
who nurses at her breast?
Could she fail to love an infant
who came from her own body?
Even if a mother could forget,
I will never forget you.
16 A picture of your city
is drawn on my hand.
You are always in my thoughts!
17 “Your city will be built faster
than it was destroyed[a]—
those who attacked it
will retreat and leave.
