Isaiah 49:24-26
World English Bible
24 Shall the plunder be taken from the mighty,
or the lawful captives be delivered?
25 But Yahweh says, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,
and the plunder retrieved from the fierce,
for I will contend with him who contends with you
and I will save your children.
26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh;
and they will be drunk on their own blood, as with sweet wine.
Then all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior
and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
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.”
