22 Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations,
    (A)and raise my signal to the peoples;
(B)and they shall bring your sons in their arms,[a]
    and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
23 (C)Kings shall be your foster fathers,
    and their queens your nursing mothers.
(D)With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you,
    and (E)lick the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
    (F)those who wait for me (G)shall not be put to shame.”

  1. Isaiah 49:22 Hebrew in their bosom

22 The Lord God says:
Look, I will raise my hand to the nations,
    and to the peoples I will lift up my signal.
They will bring your sons in their arms,
    and will carry your daughters on their shoulders.
23 Kings will be your attendants,
    and their queens your nursemaids.
With faces to the ground they will bow down to you;
    they will lick the dust from your feet.
You will know that I am the Lord;
    the one who hopes in me won’t be ashamed.
