King James Version
Isaiah 49:22-26
King James Version
22 Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

Isaiah 49:22-26
New International Version
22 This is what the Sovereign Lord(A) says:
“See, I will beckon to the nations,
I will lift up my banner(B) to the peoples;
they will bring(C) your sons in their arms
and carry your daughters on their hips.(D)
23 Kings(E) will be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.(F)
They will bow down(G) before you with their faces to the ground;
they will lick the dust(H) at your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;(I)
those who hope(J) in me will not be disappointed.(K)”
25 But this is what the Lord says:
“Yes, captives(M) will be taken from warriors,(N)
and plunder retrieved from the fierce;(O)
I will contend with those who contend with you,(P)
and your children I will save.(Q)
26 I will make your oppressors(R) eat(S) their own flesh;
they will be drunk on their own blood,(T) as with wine.
Then all mankind will know(U)
that I, the Lord, am your Savior,(V)
your Redeemer,(W) the Mighty One of Jacob.(X)”
