24 (A)Can the prey be taken from the mighty man,
Or the captives of the [a]righteous be granted escape?”

25 Surely, thus says Yahweh,

“Even the (B)captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the prey of the tyrant will be granted escape;
For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
And I will (C)save your sons.
26 I will feed (D)those who mistreat you with their (E)own flesh,
And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine;
And (F)all flesh will know that I, Yahweh, am your (G)Savior
And your (H)Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
