Isaiah 49:23

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.

along with their silver and gold,

to honor the Lord your God, ⁶ 

the Holy One of Israel, ⁷  for he has bestowed honor on you.
