Isaiah 49:14-21
14But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me; the Lord has forgotten me!”
15“Can a woman forget her nursing child,or lack compassion for the son of her womb?Even if she could forget,I will not forget you!16Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;your walls are ever before Me.17Your builders1 hasten back;your destroyers and wreckers depart from you.18Lift up your eyes and look around.They all gather together; they come to you.As surely as I live,” declares the LORD,“you will wear them all as jewelryand put them on like a bride.19For your ruined and desolate placesand your ravaged landwill now indeed be too small for your people,and those who devoured you will be far away.20Yet the children of your bereavementwill say in your hearing,‘This place is too small for us;make room for us to live here.’
21Then you will say in your heart,‘Who has begotten these for me?I was bereaved and barren;I was exiled and rejected.So who has reared them?Look, I was left all alone,so where did they come from?’”
