Isaiah 49:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁵ Can a woman forget her nursing-child,
    or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even these may forget,
    yet I will not forget you.
¹⁶ See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands;
    your walls are continually before me.
¹⁷ Your builders outdo your destroyers,^[a]
    and those who laid you waste go away from you.
