Isaiah 49:24-26
Good News Translation
24 Can you take away a soldier's loot?
Can you rescue the prisoners of a tyrant?
25 The Lord replies,
“That is just what is going to happen.
The soldier's prisoners will be taken away,
and the tyrant's loot will be seized.
I will fight against whoever fights you,
and I will rescue your children.
26 I will make your oppressors kill each other;
they will be drunk with murder and rage.
Then all people will know that I am the Lord,
the one who saves you and sets you free.
They will know that I am Israel's powerful God.”
Isaiah 49:24-26
New International Version
25 But this is what the Lord says:
“Yes, captives(B) will be taken from warriors,(C)
and plunder retrieved from the fierce;(D)
I will contend with those who contend with you,(E)
and your children I will save.(F)
26 I will make your oppressors(G) eat(H) their own flesh;
they will be drunk on their own blood,(I) as with wine.
Then all mankind will know(J)
that I, the Lord, am your Savior,(K)
your Redeemer,(L) the Mighty One of Jacob.(M)”
