Isaiah 49:16

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

Cross-reference

Isaiah 44:21 declares 'you will not be forgotten by me' — directly reinforcing the promise here that God has engraved Zion on His palms.

Song 8:6 asks to be set as a seal on the heart/arm — parallel to God's permanent inscription of Israel on His palms in 49:16.

Exodus 28:9 engraves Israel's names on onyx stones for the high priest — similar to God engraving Zion on His hands here, both as a memorial.
