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
New American Standard Bible
22 This is what the Lord [a]God says:
“Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations
And set up My (A)flag to the peoples;
And they will (B)bring your sons [b]in their arms,
And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.
23 (C)Kings will be your guardians,
And their princesses your nurses.
They will (D)bow down to you with their faces to the ground
And (E)lick the dust from your feet;
And you will (F)know that I am the Lord;
Those who hopefully (G)wait for Me will (H)not be put to shame.
