^16 (A)You shall suck the milk of nations;
    you shall nurse at the breast of kings;
and you shall know that ^(B)I, the Lord, am your Savior
    and your Redeemer, ^(C)the Mighty One of Jacob.

^23 (A)Kings shall be your foster fathers,
    and their queens your nursing mothers.
^(B)With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you,
    and ^(C)lick the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
    ^(D)those who wait for me ^(E)shall not be put to shame.”

¹⁴ You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice;
    ^(A)your bones shall flourish like the grass;
and ^(B)the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants,
    and he shall show his indignation against his enemies.

¹¹ that you may nurse and be satisfied
    from her consoling breast;
that you may drink deeply with delight
    from her glorious abundance.”^[a]

^6 (A)but you shall be called the priests of the Lord;
    they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
^(B)you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
    and in their glory you shall boast.
