23. Kings will be like fathers to you;queens will be like mothers.They will bow low before you and honour you;they will humbly show their respect for you.Then you will know that I am the Lord;no one who waits for my help will be disappointed.”
24. Can you take away a soldier's loot?Can you rescue the prisoners of a tyrant?
25. The Lord replies,“That is just what is going to happen.The soldier's prisoners will be taken away,and the tyrant's loot will be seized.I will fight against whoever fights you,and I will rescue your children.
