Isaiah 49:23
Douay-Rheims
And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and queens thy nurses: they shall worship thee with their face toward the earth, and they shall lick up the dust of thy feet. And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, for they shall not be confounded that wait for him.
Ibn Ezra
אומניך Thy nursing fathers. Comp. ויהי אמן and he brought up (Est. 2:7). It is a figurative expression for the great honour which will be shown to Israel.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
