23 Kings will be your children’s guardians;their princesses will nurse your children. With their faces to the ground they will bow down to youand they will lick the dirt on your feet.Then you will recognize that I am the Lord;those who wait patiently for me are not put to shame.
24 Can spoils be taken from a warrior,or captives be rescued from a conqueror?
25 Indeed,” says the Lord,“captives will be taken from a warrior;spoils will be rescued from a conqueror.I will oppose your adversaryand I will rescue your children.
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh;they will get drunk on their own blood, as if it were wine.Then all humankind will recognize thatI am the Lord, your deliverer, your protector, the powerful ruler of Jacob.”
