14. But Zion said, “The Lord has abandoned me.My Lord has forgotten me.”
15. Can a woman forget her nursing child?Will she have no compassion on the child from her womb?Although mothers may forget,I will not forget you.
16. I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.Your walls are always in my presence.
17. Your children will hurry back.Those who destroyed you and laid waste to you will leave you.
18. Look up, look around, and watch!All of your children are gathering together and returning to you.“I solemnly swear as I live,” declares the Lord,“you will wear all of them like jewelsand display them on yourself as a bride would.”
