Isaiah 49:14-18 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. Zion says, “The Lord has abandoned me;The Lord has forgotten me! ”

15. “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.

16. Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me.

17. Your builders hurry;those who destroy and devastate you will leave you.

18. Look up, and look around.They all gather together; they come to you. As I live” —this is the Lord’s declaration —“you will wear all your children as jewelry,and put them on as a bride does.
