21. Then you shall say in your heart,“Who bore these for me,since I have lost my children and am barren,a captive and a wanderer?And who has brought these up?I was left alone;from where did these come?”
22. Thus says the Lord God: See, I will lift up My hand to the nationsand set up My standard to the peoples;and they shall bring your sons in their arms,and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;
23. kings shall be your foster fathersand their queens your nursing mothers;they shall bow down to you with their faces toward the groundand lick up the dust of your feet.And you shall know that I am the Lord,for those who wait for Me shall not be ashamed.
24. Can the prey be taken from the mightyor the captives of a tyrant be delivered?
25. For thus says the Lord: Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,and the prey of the tyrant shall be delivered;for I will contend with him who contends with you,and I will save your sons.
