    and their kings shall minister to you,
for in my wrath I struck you down,
    but in my favor I have had mercy on you.^(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.^(A)

⁷ For a brief moment I abandoned you,
    but with great compassion I will gather you.^(A)
8 In overflowing wrath for a moment
    I hid my face from you,
but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,
    says the Lord, your Redeemer.^(B)

⁵ For his anger is but for a moment;
    his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night,
    but joy comes with the morning.^(A)

³ Nations shall come to your light
    and kings to the brightness of your dawn.^(A)
