15. Can a woman forget her sucking child that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Even though they may forget, I will not forget thee.
16. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
17. Thy builders shall come in haste; thy destroyers and those that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
18. Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt surely clothe thyself with them all, as with a garment of honour and shalt be girded by them as a bride.
19. For thy waste and thy desolate places and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and those that destroyed thee shall be separated far away.
20. Even thy sons which were fatherless, shall say in thine ears, The place is too strait for me; give place to me that I may dwell.
