Isaiah 49:15-17

New International Version

¹⁵ “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
    and have no compassion on the child^(A) she has borne?
Though she may forget,
    I will not forget you!^(B)
16 See, I have engraved^(C) you on the palms of my hands;
    your walls^(D) are ever before me.
¹⁷ Your children hasten back,
    and those who laid you waste^(E) depart from you.
