Isaiah 49:23-26

49:23

And kings
<04428>

shall be thy nursing fathers
<0539> (8802)_,

and their queens
<08282>

thy nursing mothers
<03243> (8688)_:

they shall bow down
<07812> (8691)

to thee with [their] face
<0639>

toward the earth
<0776>_,

and lick up
<03897> (8762)

the dust
<06083>

of thy feet
<07272>_;

and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_:

for they shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

that wait
<06960> (8802)

for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}

49:24

Shall the prey
<04455>

be taken
<03947> (8714)

from the mighty
<01368>_,

or the lawful
<06662>

captive
<07628>

delivered
<04422> (8735)_?

{lawful...: Heb. captivity of the just}

49:25

But thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Even the captives
<07628>

of the mighty
<01368>

shall be taken away
<03947> (8714)_,

and the prey
<04455>

of the terrible
<06184>

shall be delivered
<04422> (8735)_:

for I will contend
<07378> (8799)

with him that contendeth
<03401>

with thee, and I will save
<03467> (8686)

thy children
<01121>_.

{captives: Heb. captivity}

49:26

And I will feed
<0398> (8689)

them that oppress
<03238> (8688)

thee with their own flesh
<01320>_;

and they shall be drunken
<07937> (8799)

with their own blood
<01818>_,

as with sweet wine
<06071>_:

and all flesh
<01320>

shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

[am] thy Saviour
<03467> (8688)

and thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,

the mighty One
<046>

of Jacob
<03290>_.
