“Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.”
The promise that Zion will suck the milk of nations and know that YHWH is savior and redeemer establishes both material sustenance from the nations and theological knowledge of divine identity. The nursing imagery depicts Zion as child receiving nourishment from nations now transformed into nurturing figures. The connection between material care and knowledge of YHWH links eschatological prosperity to spiritual truth: experience confirms theology. This verse integrates material and spiritual dimensions: economic sustenance becomes vehicle for knowing YHWH.
