Isaiah 49:23-25

International Standard Version

²³“Oh, yes!^[a] Kings will be your foster fathers,
    and their queens will be your nursing mothers.
They will bow to you with their faces to the ground,
    and lick the dust from your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
    those who hope in me will not be disappointed.

²⁴“Can they seize plunder^[b] from warriors,
or^[c] can the captives of tyrants^[d] be rescued?
²⁵But this is what the Lord says:

“He will seize^[e] even the warriors’ plunder,^[f]
and the captives^[g] of tyrants will be rescued.
I myself will quarrel with those who have a quarrel with you,^[h]
and I myself will save your children.
