In his dealings with Israel, Jehovah described the most tender of relationships by likening his feelings to those of a nursing mother who pities “the son of her belly. ” ​ — Isaiah 49: 15.
Ka oma tegelemist Iisraeliga võrdles Jehoova kõige hellema suhtega, näidates, et ta tunneb selle rahva vastu sama mis imetav ema, kes „oma ihuvilja peale ” halastab.
