Isaiah 49:14-18

New International Version

¹⁴ But Zion^(A) said, “The Lord has forsaken^(B) me,
    the Lord has forgotten me.”

¹⁵ “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
    and have no compassion on the child^(C) she has borne?
Though she may forget,
    I will not forget you!^(D)
16 See, I have engraved^(E) you on the palms of my hands;
    your walls^(F) are ever before me.
¹⁷ Your children hasten back,
    and those who laid you waste^(G) depart from you.
¹⁸ Lift up your eyes and look around;
    all your children gather^(H) and come to you.
As surely as I live,^(I)” declares the Lord,
    “you will wear^(J) them all as ornaments;
    you will put them on, like a bride.
