21“Then you will say in your heart,
         ‘Who has begotten these for me,
         Since I have been bereaved of my children
         And am barren, an exile and a wanderer?
         And who has reared these?
         Behold, I was left alone;
         From where did these come?’”

      22Thus says the Lord GOD,
         “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations
         And set up My standard to the peoples;
         And they will bring your sons in their bosom,
         And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.

23“Kings will be your guardians,
         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 will know that I am the LORD;
         Those who hopefully wait for Me will not be put to shame.

24“Can the prey be taken from the mighty man,
         Or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?”

25Surely, thus says the LORD,
         “Even the captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
         And the prey of the tyrant will be rescued;
         For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
         And I will save your sons.

26“I will feed your oppressors with their own flesh,
         And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine;
         And all flesh will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior
         And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
