Isaiah 49:22-23
New Living Translation
22 This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I will give a signal to the godless nations.
They will carry your little sons back to you in their arms;
they will bring your daughters on their shoulders.
23 Kings and queens will serve you
and care for all your needs.
They will bow to the earth before you
and lick the dust from your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.
Those who trust in me will never be put to shame.”
Isaiah 49:22-23
International Standard Version
22 “For[a] this what the Lord[b] says,
‘Watch! I’ll lift up my hand to the nations
and raise my banner to the[c] peoples.[d]
They will bring your sons in their arms,
and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.’
23 “Oh, yes![e] Kings will be your foster fathers,
and their queens will be your nursing mothers.
They will bow to you with their faces to the ground,
and lick the dust from your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
those who hope in me will not be disappointed.
