Isaiah 49:15. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
"Can a woman" - the tenderer parent of the two, - "forget her child," -her own child, her feeble little child that still depends upon her for its nutriment and life, - "her sucking child," - .
Isaiah 49:15. Yea, they may forget, -
It is just possible; there have been such monstrosities: "they may forget," -
Isaiah 49:15. Yet will I not forget thee.
"Yet, saith the Lord, should nature change,
And mothers monsters prove,
Sion still dwells upon the heart Of everlasting love."
How that gracious assurance should comfort the little handful, the "remnant weak and small" of God’s people among the Jews! How it should also comfort any of God’s servants who are under a cloud, and who have lost for a while the enjoyment of his presence!
