Context Reading
15“Can a woman forget her nursing child,that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?Yes, these may forget,yet I will not forget you! 16Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.Your walls are continually before me. 17Your children hurry.Your destroyers and those who devastated you will leave you. 18Lift up your eyes all around, and see:all these gather themselves together, and come to you.As I live,” says Yahweh, “you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament,and dress yourself with them, like a bride. 19“For, as for your waste and your desolate places,and your land that has been destroyed,surely now that land will be too small for the inhabitants,and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
