Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 49:15

"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee." — Isaiah 49:15 (ASV)

Can a woman forget ...? —The love of Jehovah for His chosen ones is more than that of a father, more tender and unchangeable even than the maternal love which often exists in the most depraved. Even that may perish, but not so His pitying affection.
