| HA-TEESH-KACH Joel Chernoff Ha-teesh-kach ee-shan oo-lah mai-ra-chaim ben beet-nah gam ai-leh teesh-kach-nah van-no-chee lo esch-kan-chaich Hain al kah-pa-yeem chan-ko-teech cho-mo-ta-yeech no-ge-dee tah-meed Can a women forget her nursing child Or fail to have compassion upon him? She may forget but know it or know Israel you are always before me? Behold I have engraved my people On the palms of my hands Your walls are always before me, Israel How can I forget? Thus saith the Lord, If the sun that lights the day, Or the moon and stars that light the evening sky? If these laws I forget or broke before me no more be, Only then will I forget you, Israel? Hebrew Translation from Isaiah 49:15&16 "Can a women forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have engraved thee upon the palms of my hands, they walls are continually before me." |
