22. This is what the Lord God says:Look, I will lift up My hand to the nations,and raise My banner to the peoples. They will bring your sons in their arms,and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.
23. Kings will be your foster fathers,and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down to youwith their faces to the ground,and lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am Yahweh; those who put their hope in Mewill not be put to shame.
24. Can the prey be taken from the mighty,or the captives of the righteous be delivered?
25. For this is what the Lord says:“Even the captives of a mighty man will be taken,and the prey of a tyrant will be delivered;I will contend with the one who contends with you,and I will save your children.
26. I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh, and they will be drunk with their own bloodas with sweet wine.Then all flesh will knowthat I, Yahweh, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
