Isaiah 49:24-26
English Standard Version
24 Can the prey be taken from the mighty,
or the captives of a tyrant[a] be rescued?
25 For thus says the Lord:
(A)“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken,
and the prey of the tyrant be rescued,
for I will contend with those who contend with you,
and I will save your children.
26 (B)I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,
and they shall be drunk (C)with their own blood as with wine.
Then all flesh shall know
that (D)I am the Lord your Savior,
and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
