Isaiah 49:22-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 Thus says the Lord God:
I will soon lift up my hand to the nations
and raise my signal to the peoples,
and they shall bring your sons in their bosom,
and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.(A)
23 Kings shall be your foster fathers
and their queens your nursing mothers.
With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you
and lick the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.(B)
Isaiah 49:22-23

22 “For[a] this what the Lord[b] says,
‘Watch! I’ll lift up my hand to the nations
and raise my banner to the[c] peoples.[d]
They will bring your sons in their arms,
and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.’
23 “Oh, yes![e] Kings will be your foster fathers,
and their queens will be your nursing mothers.
They will bow to you with their faces to the ground,
and lick the dust from your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
those who hope in me will not be disappointed.
