CHAPTER 21

23 And ^akings shall be thy ^bnursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers; they shall bow down to thee with their face towards the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord; for they shall not be ashamed that ^cwait for me.

23a	Isa. 60: 16 (14-16) 16 Thou shalt also suck the ^amilk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of ^bkings: and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy ^cSaviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
b	1 Ne. 22: 6. 6 Nevertheless, after they shall be ^anursed by the ^bGentiles, and the Lord has lifted up his hand upon the Gentiles and set them up for a standard, and their ^cchildren have been carried in their arms, and their daughters have been carried upon their shoulders, behold these things of which are spoken are temporal; for thus are the covenants of the Lord with our fathers; and it meaneth us in the days to come, and also all our brethren who are of the house of Israel.
c	Gen. 49: 18. 18 I have ^awaited for thy salvation, O Lord.
