Isaiah 49:22-26

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Look, I will lift up My hand to the nations,
and raise My banner to the peoples.^(A)
They will bring your sons in their arms,
and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.^(B)
23 Kings will be your foster fathers,
and their queens^[a] your nursing mothers.^(C)
They will bow down to you
with their faces to the ground,
and lick the dust at your feet.^(D)
Then you will know that I am Yahweh;^(E)
those who put their hope in Me
will not be put to shame.^(F)

²⁴ Can the prey be taken from the mighty,
or the captives of the righteous^[b] be delivered?
²⁵ For this is what the Lord says:
“Even the captives of a mighty man will be taken,
and the prey of a tyrant will be delivered;
I will contend with the one who contends with you,
and I will save your children.
²⁶ I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,^(G)
and they will be drunk with their own blood
as with sweet wine.
Then all flesh will know
that I, Yahweh, am your Savior,^(H)
and your Redeemer,^(I) the Mighty One of Jacob.”^(J)
