¹⁵ “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
    and have no compassion on the child^(A) she has borne?
Though she may forget,

    your walls^(D) are ever before me.

⁷ “For a brief moment^(A) I abandoned^(B) you,
    but with deep compassion^(C) I will bring you back.^(D)

but with everlasting kindness^(G)
    I will have compassion^(H) on you,”
    says the Lord your Redeemer.^(I)
