Isaiah 49:24-26
Lexham English Bible
24 Can war-booty be taken from the mighty?
or can a captive of a righteous[a] person be rescued?
25 But thus says Yahweh:
“Indeed a captive of the mighty shall be taken,
and the war-booty of the tyrant shall be rescued,
for[b] I myself will dispute with your opponent,
and I myself will save your children.
26 And I will feed your oppressors their own flesh,
and they shall be drunk with their blood as with wine.
Then[c] all flesh shall know that I am Yahweh,
your savior and redeemer, the strong one of Jacob.”

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.”
