Even These May Forget
// 30th August
עֲזָבַ֣נִי יְהוָ֑ה וַאדֹנָ֖י שְׁכֵחָֽנִי׃
“Adonai has forsaken me; my Lord has forgotten me.”
הֲתִשְׁכַּ֤ח אִשָּׁה֙ עוּלָ֔הּ מֵרַחֵ֖ם בֶּן־בִּטְנָ֑הּ גַּם־אֵ֣לֶּה תִשְׁכַּ֔חְנָה וְאָנֹכִ֖י לֹ֥א אֶשְׁכָּחֵֽךְ׃ הֵ֥ן עַל־כַּפַּ֖יִם חַקֹּתִ֑יךְ
“Can a woman forget her nursing child, have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget–yet I will not forget you. Lo, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands…”
–Isaiah son of Amoz, 8th century BCE
