Isaiah 49:22-24
Amplified Bible
22 This is what the Lord God says,
“Listen carefully, I will lift up My hand to the [Gentile] nations
And set up My banner to the peoples;
And they will bring your sons in the fold of their garments,
And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.
23
“Kings will be your attendants,
And their princesses your nurses.
They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth
And lick the dust of your feet;
And you shall know [with an understanding based on personal experience] that I am the Lord;
For they shall not be put to shame who wait and hope expectantly for Me.
24
“Can the spoils of war be taken from the mighty man,
Or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?”
Isaiah 49:22-24
New International Version
22 This is what the Sovereign Lord(A) says:
“See, I will beckon to the nations,
I will lift up my banner(B) to the peoples;
they will bring(C) your sons in their arms
and carry your daughters on their hips.(D)
23 Kings(E) will be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.(F)
They will bow down(G) before you with their faces to the ground;
they will lick the dust(H) at your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;(I)
those who hope(J) in me will not be disappointed.(K)”
