The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
The children of those who hurt you will come and bow down to you; all those who looked down on you will bow at your feet; and they will call you 'The City of the LORD, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.'
God is promising that those who once oppressed and rejected His people will one day honor them and recognize God's presence among them.
