15 But the Lord says,
“Can a woman forget her baby?
    Can she forget the child who came from her body?
Even if she can forget her children,
    I cannot forget you.
16 I drew a picture of you on my hand.
    You are always before my eyes.[a]
17 Your children will come back to you,
    and those who destroyed you will leave.
