15Forget doth a woman her suckling, The loved one—the son of her womb? Yea, these forget—but I—I forget not thee. 16Lo, on the palms of the hand I have graven thee, Thy walls are before Me continually. 17Hastened have those building thee, Those destroying thee, and laying thee waste, go out from thee.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
“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.
Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.
Your builders make haste;
your destroyers and those who laid you waste go out from you.

“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.
Your children hasten back,
and those who laid you waste depart from you.

“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
or lack compassion for the child of her womb?
Even if these forget,
yet I will not forget you.
Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.
Your builders hurry;
those who destroy and devastate you will leave you.

NLTNew Living Translation
“Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child?
Can she feel no love for the child she has borne?
But even if that were possible,
I would not forget you!
See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands.
Always in my mind is a picture of Jerusalem’s walls in ruins.
Soon your descendants will come back,
and all who are trying to destroy you will go away.

Can a woman forget her suckling,
refrain from having compassion on the child of her womb?
Indeed, these may forget,
but I, I will not forget you!
Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.
Your children hasten;
your destroyers and those who laid you waste depart from you.

Can a woman forget her sucking child,
That she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Yea, they may forget,
Yet will I not forget thee.
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;
Thy walls are continually before me.
Thy children shall make haste;
Thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
