For can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee, O house of Israel. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
Nephi quoted the words of Isaiah because they were full of hope and comfort. God could not forget us any more than a new mother can forget her baby. Each time the resurrected Savior looks at the marks in the palms of his hands, he remembers us because he took the stripes for our guilt with those nails.
