Isaiah 49:23-25
New American Standard Bible 1995
23 “(A)Kings will be your guardians,
And their princesses your nurses.
They will (B)bow down to you with their faces to the earth
And (C)lick the dust of 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.
25 Surely, thus says the Lord,
“Even the (H)captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the prey of the tyrant will be rescued;
For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
And I will (I)save your sons.
