    “Who bore these for me,
since I have lost my children and am barren,
    a captive and a wanderer?
    And who has brought these up?

    and set up My standard to the peoples;
and they shall bring your sons in their arms,
    and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;
23 kings shall be your foster fathers
    and their queens your nursing mothers;

    and lick up the dust of your feet.
And you shall know that I am the Lord,
    for those who wait for Me shall not be ashamed.
