Isaiah 49:23

Context

49:23 Kings will be your children’s 1  guardians;

their princesses will nurse your children. 2 

With their faces to the ground they will bow down to you

and they will lick the dirt on 3  your feet.

Then you will recognize that I am the Lord;

those who wait patiently for me are not put to shame.

Isaiah 49:26

Context

49:26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh;

they will get drunk on their own blood, as if it were wine. 4 

Then all humankind 5  will recognize that

I am the Lord, your deliverer,

your protector, 6  the powerful ruler of Jacob.” 7
