Isaiah 49:22-24

International Standard Version

²² “For^[a] this what the Lord^[b] says,
    ‘Watch! I’ll lift up my hand to the nations
and raise my banner to the^[c] peoples.^[d]
    They will bring your sons in their arms,
        and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.’
²³ “Oh, yes!^[e] Kings will be your foster fathers,
    and their queens will be your nursing mothers.
They will bow to you with their faces to the ground,
    and lick the dust from your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
    those who hope in me will not be disappointed.

²⁴ “Can they seize plunder^[f] from warriors,
    or^[g] can the captives of tyrants^[h] be rescued?
