Thus says Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to the despiser of life, to the detester of the nation, to the servant of rulers: “Kings will see, and they will arise; princes, and they will prostrate themselves, because of Yahweh, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, and he has chosen you.”
