⁴ Because you are precious in my sight
    and honored and I love you,
I give people in return for you,
    nations in exchange for your life.^(A)

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