Isaiah 49:15-17
New Revised Standard Version 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.
