14But Zion said, “I don’t get it. God has left me.
My Master has forgotten I even exist.”
15–18“Can a mother forget the infant at her breast,
walk away from the baby she bore?
But even if mothers forget,
I’d never forget you—never.
Look, I’ve written your names on the backs of my hands.
The walls you’re rebuilding are never out of my sight.

and the Lord has forgotten me!”
Can a woman forget her suckling,
refrain from having compassion on the child of her womb?

your walls are continually before me.

But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me,
And my Lord hath forgotten me.
Can a woman forget her sucking child,
