22 (A)Thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations,
And set up My [a]standard for the peoples;
They shall bring your sons in their [b]arms,
And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;
23 (B)Kings shall be your foster fathers,
And their queens your nursing mothers;
They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth,
And (C)lick up the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord,
(D)For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.”

24 (E)Shall the prey be taken from the mighty,
Or the captives [c]of the righteous be delivered?
