Isaiah 49:22-24
Young's Literal Translation
22 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Lo, I lift up unto nations My hand, And unto peoples I raise up Mine ensign, And they have brought thy sons in the bosom, And thy daughters on the shoulder are carried.
23 And kings have been thy nursing fathers, And their princesses thy nursing mothers; Face to the earth -- they bow down to thee, And the dust of thy feet they lick up, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.
24 Is prey taken from the mighty? And the captive of the righteous delivered?

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)”
