Isaiah 49:22-23
1599 Geneva Bible
22 Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the [a]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 [b]shall be thy nursing fathers, and Queens shall be thy nurses: they shall worship thee with their faces toward the earth, and lick up the [c]dust of thy feet: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
