Isaiah 49:24-26
Legacy Standard Bible
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.”

Isaiah 49:24-26
New Living Translation
24 Who can snatch the plunder of war from the hands of a warrior?
Who can demand that a tyrant[a] let his captives go?
25 But the Lord says,
“The captives of warriors will be released,
and the plunder of tyrants will be retrieved.
For I will fight those who fight you,
and I will save your children.
26 I will feed your enemies with their own flesh.
They will be drunk with rivers of their own blood.
All the world will know that I, the Lord,
am your Savior and your Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Israel.[b]”
