12 See, they will come from afar(A)
    some from the north, some from the west,(B)
    some from the region of Aswan.[a]

13 Shout for joy,(C) you heavens;
    rejoice, you earth;(D)
    burst into song, you mountains!(E)
For the Lord comforts(F) his people
    and will have compassion(G) on his afflicted ones.(H)

14 But Zion(I) said, “The Lord has forsaken(J) me,
    the Lord has forgotten me.”

15 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
    and have no compassion on the child(K) she has borne?
Though she may forget,
    I will not forget you!(L)
