Isaiah 49:23-25
Lexham English Bible

23 And kings shall be your guardians,[a]
    and their queens your nurses.
They shall bow down, faces[b] to the ground, to you,
    and they will lick up the dust of your feet.
Then[c] you will know that I am Yahweh;
    those who await me shall not be ashamed.
24 Can war-booty be taken from the mighty?
    or can a captive of a righteous[d] person be rescued?

25 But thus says Yahweh:

“Indeed a captive of the mighty shall be taken,
    and the war-booty of the tyrant shall be rescued,
for[e] I myself will dispute with your opponent,
    and I myself will save your children.
