Isaiah 49:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ But Zion's people said,
    ‘The Lord has left us alone.
    The Lord God has forgotten about us.’
¹⁵ The Lord replies,
‘Can a mother forget the baby
    who drinks milk at her breast?
Can she refuse to be kind to the child
    that she has given birth to?
Perhaps those mothers might forget their children.
    But I would not ever forget you, Zion.^[a]
16 Look! I have written your name on my own hand.
    I always see the walls of your city in my mind.
