Isaiah 49:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 Shall the prey be [a]taken from the mighty? or the just captivity delivered?
25 But thus saith the Lord, [b]Even the captivity of the mighty shall be taken away: and the prey of the tyrant shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children,
26 And will feed them that spoil thee, with [c]their own flesh, and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob.
