Isaiah 49:24-26
New American Standard Bible
25 Indeed, this is what the Lord says:
“Even the (B)captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the prey of a tyrant will be rescued;
For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
And I will (C)save your sons.
26 I will feed your (D)oppressors with their (E)own flesh,
And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine;
And [b](F)humanity will know that I, the Lord, 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]”
