Isaiah 49:14-18

English Standard Version

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

^15 (B)“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
    that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
    yet I will not forget you.
¹⁶ Behold, ^(C)I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
    your walls are continually before me.
¹⁷ Your builders make haste;^{[a]
    (D)}your destroyers and those who laid you waste go out from you.
^18 (E)Lift up your eyes around and see;
    they all gather, they come to you.
^(F)As I live, declares the Lord,
    ^(G)you shall put them all on as an ornament;
    you shall bind them on as a bride does.
