Isaiah 49:15-17
Amplified Bible
15
[The Lord answered] “Can a woman forget her nursing child
And have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.
16
“Indeed, I have inscribed [a picture of] you on the [a]palms of My hands;
Your city walls [Zion] are continually before Me.
17
“Your [b]builders hurry;
Your destroyers and devastators
Will go away from you.
