²⁴ Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    the Mighty One^(A) of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
    and avenge^(B) myself on my enemies.^(C)

¹⁶ You will drink the milk of nations
    and be nursed^(A) at royal breasts.
Then you will know^(B) that I, the Lord, am your Savior,^(C)
    your Redeemer,^(D) the Mighty One of Jacob.^(E)

²⁶ I will make your oppressors^(A) eat^(B) their own flesh;
    they will be drunk on their own blood,^(C) as with wine.
Then all mankind will know^(D)
    that I, the Lord, am your Savior,^(E)
    your Redeemer,^(F) the Mighty One of Jacob.^(G)”

⁴ say^(A) to those with fearful hearts,^(B)
    “Be strong, do not fear;^(C)
your God will come,^(D)
    he will come with vengeance;^(E)
with divine retribution
    he will come to save^(F) you.”

⁸ Therefore in one day^(A) her plagues will overtake her:
    death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,^(B)
    for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

¹⁷ I too will strike my hands^(A) together,
    and my wrath^(B) will subside.
I the Lord have spoken.^(C)”
