Isaiah 60:16

Context

60:16 You will drink the milk of nations;

you will nurse at the breasts of kings. 1 

Then you will recognize that I, the Lord, am your deliverer,

your protector, 2  the powerful ruler of Jacob. 3 

Isaiah 49:23

Context

49:23 Kings will be your children’s 4  guardians;

their princesses will nurse your children. 5 

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

and they will lick the dirt on 6  your feet.

Then you will recognize that I am the Lord;

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