Isaiah 49:13-17
New International Version
13 Shout for joy,(A) you heavens;
rejoice, you earth;(B)
burst into song, you mountains!(C)
For the Lord comforts(D) his people
and will have compassion(E) on his afflicted ones.(F)
15 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child(I) she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!(J)
16 See, I have engraved(K) you on the palms of my hands;
your walls(L) are ever before me.
17 Your children hasten back,
and those who laid you waste(M) depart from you.
Isaiah 49:13-17
King James Version
13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.
14 But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
17 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
