23 (A)Kings will be your guardians,
And their princesses your nurses.
They will (B)bow down to you with their faces to the ground
And (C)lick the dust from your feet;
And you will (D)know that I am the Lord;
Those who hopefully (E)wait for Me will (F)not be put to shame.

24 (G)Can the prey be taken from a mighty man,
Or the captives of [a]a tyrant be rescued?”

25 Indeed, this is what the Lord says:

“Even the (H)captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the prey of a tyrant will be rescued;
For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
And I will (I)save your sons.
