Context of Isaiah 49:13
11I will make all My mountains a road, And My highways will be raised up. 12Behold, these will come from afar; And behold, these will come from the north and from the west, And these from the land of Aswan.” Shout for joy, you heavens! And rejoice, you earth! Break forth into joyful shouting, mountains! For the Lord has comforted His people And will have compassion on His afflicted. 14But Zion said, “The Lord has abandoned me, And the Lord has forgotten me.” 15“Can a woman forget her nursing child And have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.
