22 This is what the Lord God says:

Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations,
and raise my banner to the peoples.(A)
They will bring your sons in their arms,
and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.(B)
23 Kings will be your guardians
and their queens[a] your nursing mothers.(C)
They will bow down to you
with their faces to the ground
and lick the dust at your feet.(D)
Then you will know that I am the Lord;(E)
those who put their hope in me
will not be put to shame.(F)
