Isaiah 49:15-17

English Standard Version

^15 (A)“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
    that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
    yet I will not forget you.
¹⁶ Behold, ^(B)I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
    your walls are continually before me.
¹⁷ Your builders make haste;^{[a]
    (C)}your destroyers and those who laid you waste go out from you.
