14And Zion saith, `Jehovah hath forsaken me, And my Lord hath forgotten me.`
15Forget doth a woman her suckling, The loved one -- the son of her womb? Yea, these forget -- but I -- I forget not thee.
16Lo, on the palms of the hand I have graven thee, Thy walls [are] before Me continually.
17Hastened have those building thee, Those destroying thee, and laying thee waste, go out from thee.
18Lift up round about thine eyes and see, All of them have been gathered, They have come to thee. I live, an affirmation of Jehovah! Surely all of them as an ornament thou puttest on, And thou bindest them on like a bride.
19Because thy wastes, and thy desolate places, And the land of thy ruins, Surely now are straitened because of inhabitants, And far off have been those consuming thee.
20Again do the sons of thy bereavement say in thine ears: `The place is too strait for me, Come nigh to me -- and I dwell.`
