14

The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you; and all those who despised you will bow themselves down at the soles of your feet. They will call you the LORD’s City, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

EXPLANATION

Verse 14. Feet. Prot. “shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet.” This posture is not then essentially idolatrous. Bible.—Jerusalem shall be rebuilt by those who destroyed it. Calmet. 49:17. It is not easy to prove this of the earthly city: but the pagans, who persecuted the Church, have embraced her communion, and begged to receive baptism.
