25 But thus says the Lord:

“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,
And the prey of the terrible be delivered;
For I will contend with him who contends with you,
And I will save your children.
26 I will (A)feed those who oppress you with their own flesh,

All flesh (C)shall know
That I, the Lord, am your Savior,
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
