NETBible

Can a woman forget her baby who nurses at her breast?¹ Can she withhold compassion from the child she has borne?² Even if mothers³ were to forget, I could never forget you!⁴

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “her suckling”; NASB “her nursing child.”

²tn Heb “so as not to have compassion on the son of her womb?”

³tn Heb “these” (so ASV, NASB).

⁴sn The argument of v. 15 seems to develop as follows: The Lord has an innate attachment to Zion, just like a mother does for her infant child. But even if mothers were to suddenly abandon their children, the Lord would never forsake Zion. In other words, the Lord’s attachment to Zion is like a mother’s attachment to her infant child, but even stronger.
