Isaiah 49:22-23
Lexham English Bible
22 Thus says the Lord Yahweh:
“Look! I will lift my hand up to the nations,
and I will 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 And kings shall be your guardians,[b]
and their queens your nurses.
They shall bow down, faces[c] to the ground, to you,
and they will lick up the dust of your feet.
Then[d] you will know that I am Yahweh;
those who await me shall not be ashamed.
