Jerusalem and Her Children
14But Jerusalem said, “The Lord has left me;
the Lord has forgotten me.”
15The Lord answers, “Can a woman forget the baby she nurses?
Can she feel no kindness for the child to which she gave birth?
Even if she could forget her children,
I will not forget you.
16See, I have written your name on my hand.
Jerusalem, I always think about your walls.

“Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child?
Can she feel no love for the child she has borne?

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

Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands;
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,
That she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
