Isaiah 49:15-17

Revised Standard Version

¹⁵ “Can a woman forget her sucking child,
    that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
    yet I will not forget you.
¹⁶ Behold, I have graven you on the palms of my hands;
    your walls are continually before me.
¹⁷ Your builders outstrip your destroyers,
    and those who laid you waste go forth from you.
