24 Shall the plunder be taken from the mighty,
    or the lawful captives be delivered?
25 But Yahweh says, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,
    and the plunder retrieved from the fierce,
for I will contend with him who contends with you
    and I will save your children.
26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh;
    and they will be drunk on their own blood, as with sweet wine.
Then all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior
    and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
