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.”

24 Can the prey be taken from the mighty,
or the captives of a tyrant[a] be rescued?
25 Surely, thus says the Lord:
“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken,
and the prey of the tyrant be rescued,
for I will contend with those who contend with you,
and I will save your children.
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,
and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine.
Then all flesh shall know
that I am the Lord your Savior,
and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
