Isaiah 49:24–26

Can the prey be taken from the mighty,

or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?

For 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.

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.”

Can plunder be taken from warriors,

or captives be rescued from the fierce?

But this is what the Lord says:

“Yes, captives will be taken from warriors,

and plunder retrieved from the fierce;

I will contend with those who contend with you,

and your children I will save.

I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh;

they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine.

Then all mankind will know

that I, the Lord, am your Savior,

your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Can the prey be taken from a mighty man,

or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?

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.

I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,

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,

and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Who can snatch the plunder of war from the hands of a warrior?

Who can demand that a tyrant let his captives go?

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.

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.”

Can war-booty be taken from the mighty?

or can a captive of a righteous person be rescued?

But thus says Yahweh:

“Indeed a captive of the mighty shall be taken,

and the war-booty of the tyrant shall be rescued,

for I myself will dispute with your opponent,

and I myself will save your children.

And I will feed your oppressors their own flesh,

and they shall be drunk with their blood as with wine.

Then all flesh shall know that I am Yahweh,

your savior and redeemer, the strong one of Jacob.”

Shall the prey be taken from the mighty,

Or the lawful captive delivered?

But thus saith the Lord,

Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,

And the prey of the terrible shall be delivered:

For I will contend with him that contendeth with thee,

And I will save thy children.

And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh;

And they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine:

And all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour

And thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
