Isaiah 49:24-26

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁴ If a strong soldier takes a prisoner,
    can you set him free?
If a powerful soldier guards someone,
    can the prisoner escape?
²⁵ Here is the Lord’s answer:
“The prisoners will escape.
    Those captured by the strong soldier will be set free.
That’s because I will fight your battles,
    and I will save your children.
²⁶ Those people hurt you,
    but I will force them to eat their own bodies.
    Their own blood will be the wine that makes them drunk.
Then everyone will know that the Lord saved you.
    Everyone will know that the Powerful One of Jacob saved you.”
