14. But the city of Zion said, "The Lord has deserted me. The Lord has forgotten me."
15. The Lord answers, "Can a mother forget the baby who is nursing at her breast? Can she stop showing her tender love to the child who was born to her? She might forget her child. But I will not forget you.
16. I have written your name on the palms of my hands. Your walls are never out of my sight.
17. Your people will hurry back. Those who destroyed you so completely will leave you.
