Isaiah 49:13-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
break forth, O mountains, into singing!
For the Lord has comforted his people
and will have compassion on his suffering ones.(A)
14 But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me;
my Lord has forgotten me.”(B)
15 Can a woman forget her nursing child
or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even these might forget,
yet I will not forget you.(C)
16 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.(D)
17 Your builders outdo your destroyers,[a]
and those who laid you waste go away from you.(E)
18 Lift up your eyes all around and see;
they all gather; they come to you.
As I live, says the Lord,
you shall put all of them on like an ornament,
and like a bride you shall bind them on.(F)
