22 This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“Look I will raise my hand to the nations;
I will raise my signal flag to the peoples.
They will bring your sons in their arms
and carry your daughters on their shoulders.
23 Kings will be your children’s[a] guardians;
their princesses will nurse your children.[b]
With their faces to the ground they will bow down to you,
and they will lick the dirt on[c] your feet.
Then you will recognize that I am the Lord;
those who wait patiently for me are not put to shame.
