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 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.”
