49:1 Listen to me, you coastlands! 1
Pay attention, you people who live far away!
The Lord summoned me from birth; 2
he commissioned me when my mother brought me into the world. 3
49:23 Kings will be your children’s 4 guardians;
their princesses will nurse your children. 5
With their faces to the ground they will bow down to you
and they will lick the dirt on 6 your feet.
Then you will recognize that I am the Lord;
those who wait patiently for me are not put to shame.
