Thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations,

and raise my signal to the peoples;

and they shall bring your sons in their arms,

and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.

Kings shall be your foster fathers,

and their queens your nursing mothers.

With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you,

and lick the dust of your feet.

Then you will know that I am the Lord;

those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations,

and raise my banner to the peoples.

They will bring your sons in their arms,

and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.

Kings will be your guardians

and their queens your nursing mothers.

They will bow down to you

with their faces to the ground

and lick the dust at your feet.

Then you will know that I am the Lord;

those who put their hope in me

will not be put to shame.

NLTNew Living Translation

This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“See, I will give a signal to the godless nations.

They will carry your little sons back to you in their arms;

they will bring your daughters on their shoulders.

Kings and queens will serve you

and care for all your needs.

They will bow to the earth before you

and lick the dust from your feet.

Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Those who trust in me will never be put to shame.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“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.

And kings shall be your guardians,

and their queens your nurses.

They shall bow down, faces to the ground, to you,

and they will lick up the dust of your feet.

Then you will know that I am Yahweh;

those who await me shall not be ashamed.

KJV 1900King James Version

Thus saith the Lord God,

Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles,

And set up my standard to the people:

And they shall bring thy sons in their arms,

And thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

And kings shall be thy nursing fathers,

And their queens thy nursing mothers:

They shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth,

And lick up the dust of thy feet;

And thou shalt know that I am the Lord:

For they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
