Isaiah 49:24-26
Holman Christian Standard Bible
24 Can the prey be taken from the mighty,
or the captives of the righteous[a] be delivered?
25 For this is what the Lord says:
“Even the captives of a mighty man will be taken,
and the prey of a tyrant will be delivered;
I will contend with the one who contends with you,
and I will save your children.
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,(A)
and they will be drunk with their own blood
as with sweet wine.
Then all flesh will know
that I, Yahweh, am your Savior,(B)
and your Redeemer,(C) the Mighty One of Jacob.”(D)

Isaiah 49:24-26
Lexham English Bible
24 Can war-booty be taken from the mighty?
or can a captive of a righteous[a] person be rescued?
25 But thus says Yahweh:
“Indeed a captive of the mighty shall be taken,
and the war-booty of the tyrant shall be rescued,
for[b] I myself will dispute with your opponent,
and I myself will save your children.
26 And I will feed your oppressors their own flesh,
and they shall be drunk with their blood as with wine.
Then[c] all flesh shall know that I am Yahweh,
your savior and redeemer, the strong one of Jacob.”
