Isaiah 49:24

Yahweh Remembers Zion

²³
“Kings will be your attendants,
And their princesses your nurses.
They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth
And lick the dust of your feet;
And you shall know [with an understanding based on personal experience] that I am the Lord;
For they shall not be put to shame who wait and hope expectantly for Me. ²⁴ 
“Can the spoils of war be taken from the mighty man,
Or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?” ²⁵ Indeed, this is what the Lord says,

“Even the captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the tyrant’s spoils of war will be rescued;
For I will contend with your opponent,
And I will save your children.
