Nursing fathers

Was it I who conceived all this people? Was it I who brought them forth, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom as a

nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which You swore to their fathers’?

Bow

Thus says the Lord,
“The products of Egypt and the merchandise of

Cush

And the Sabeans, men of stature,
Will come over to you and will be yours;
They will walk behind you, they will come over in chains
And will bow down to you;
They will make supplication to you:
‘Surely, God is with you, and there is none else,
No other God.’”

Like reptiles of the earth.

To the Lord our God they will come in dread
And they will be afraid before You.

Nor has the eye seen a God besides You,
Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him.

Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.

And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel,

“Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a

And he who believes in

Him will not be

disappointed.”
