15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. I read this and thought at first how silly the Israelites were. Isaiah is almost mocking them here for their lack of faith. Maybe just encouraging them its hard to say. But either way, I can understand their plight to a degree. What does God promise us in this life, certainly not that its going to be easy, nor was it for the Israelites. We can still have faith, yet still fear pain and misery right?
