    and his enemies lick the dust.^(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)

¹⁷ they shall lick dust like a snake,
    like the crawling things of the earth;
they shall come trembling out of their fortresses;
    they shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,
    and they shall stand in fear of you.^(A)

35 The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;
    the desert shall rejoice and blossom;
like the crocus^{(A) 2} it shall blossom abundantly
    and rejoice with joy and shouting.
The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
    the majesty of Carmel and Sharon.
They shall see the glory of the Lord,
    the majesty of our God.]]^[a](B)

⁶ He will execute judgment among the nations,
    filling them with corpses;
he will shatter heads
    over the wide earth.^(A)

¹ The Lord says to my lord,
    “Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.”^(A)
