22 eThus says the Lord God:

“Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations,

And set up My 3standard for the peoples;

They shall bring your sons in their 4arms,

And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;

23 fKings shall be your foster fathers,

And their queens your nursing mothers;

They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth,

And glick up the dust of your feet.

Then you will know that I am the Lord,

hFor they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.”

24 iShall the prey be taken from the mighty,

Or the captives 5of the righteous be delivered?

25 But thus says the Lord:

“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,

And the prey of the terrible be delivered;

For I will contend with him who contends with you,

And I will save your children.

26 I will jfeed those who oppress you with their own flesh,

And they shall be drunk with their own kblood as with sweet wine.

All flesh lshall know

That I, the Lord, am your Savior,

And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
