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. 49:22 Is 11:10–12; 18:3; 62:10
They will bring your sons in their arms,
and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders. 49:22 Is 14:2; 43:6; 60:4
23 Kings will be your guardians
and their queens 49:23 Lit princesses your nursing mothers. 49:23 Is 60:3,10–11
They will bow down to you
with their faces to the ground
and lick the dust at your feet. 49:23 Is 14:1–2
Then you will know that I am the Lord; 49:23 Is 41:20; 43:10; 60:16
those who put their hope in me
will not be put to shame. 49:23 Ps 25:3; Is 45:17; Jl 2:27
