Isaiah 49:24-26
Christian Standard Bible
24 Can the prey be taken from a mighty man,
or the captives of a tyrant[a] be delivered?
25 For this is what the Lord says:
“Even the captives of a mighty man will be taken,
and the prey of a tyrant will be delivered;
I will contend with the one who contends with you,
and I will save your children.
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,(A)
and they will be drunk with their own blood
as with sweet wine.
Then all humanity will know
that I, the Lord, am your Savior,(B)
and your Redeemer,(C) the Mighty One of Jacob.”(D)
