22 Thus says Lord Yahweh,

“Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations
And make high My (A)standard to the peoples;
And they will (B)bring your sons in their bosom,
And your daughters will be lifted up on their shoulders.
23 (C)Kings will be your guardians,
And their princesses your nurses.
They will (D)bow down to you with their [a]faces to the earth
And (E)lick the dust of your feet;
And you will (F)know that I am Yahweh;
Those who (G)hope in Me will (H)not be put to shame.

  1. Isaiah 49:23 Lit noses

22 This is what God the Lord says.
Look, I will lift up my hand to nations,
and I will raise my signal flag for peoples.
Then they will bring your sons in their embrace,
and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.
23 Then kings will be your foster fathers,
and their queens will be your nursing mothers.
With their faces to the ground, they will bow down to you.
They will lick the dust at your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.
Those who wait hopefully for me will not be ashamed.
