Isaiah 49:23-26 Common English Bible (CEB)

23. Kings will be your attendants,and their queens your nursemaids.With faces to the ground they will bow down to you;they will lick the dust from your feet.You will know that I am the Lord;the one who hopes in me won’t be ashamed.

24. Can loot be taken from warriors?Can a tyrant’s captives escape?

25. The Lord says:Even the captives of warriors will be taken,and the tyrant’s loot will escape.I myself will oppose those who oppose you,and I myself will save your children.

26. I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh;and as with wine, with their own blood they will be drunk,so that all flesh will know that I, the Lord, am your savior,and the mighty one of Jacob is your redeemer.
