Isaiah 49:23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
23 Kings shall be your guardians,
their princesses your nursemaids;
Face to the ground, they shall bow down before you
and lick the dust at your feet.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord,
none who hope in me shall be ashamed.
Isaiah 55:5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 So shall you summon a nation you knew not,
and a nation[a] that knew you not shall run to you,
Because of the Lord, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, who has glorified you.(A)
Footnotes
- 55:5 The “nation” is Persia under Cyrus, but the perspective is worldwide.
