Isaiah 49:23-25
Easy-to-Read Version

23 Kings will be their teachers.
    The daughters of kings will care for them.
The kings and their daughters will bow down to you.
    They will kiss the dirt at your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord,
    and anyone who trusts in me will not be disappointed.”

24 If a strong soldier takes a prisoner,
    can you set him free?
If a powerful soldier guards someone,
    can the prisoner escape?
25 Here is the Lord’s answer:
“The prisoners will escape.
    Those captured by the strong soldier will be set free.
That’s because I will fight your battles,
    and I will save your children.
