Isaiah 49:24

Yahweh Remembers Zion

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?”
²⁵ Surely, 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.
