24-26 Can plunder be retrieved from a giant,
    prisoners of war gotten back from a tyrant?
But God says, “Even if a giant grips the plunder
    and a tyrant holds my people prisoner,
I’m the one who’s on your side,
    defending your cause, rescuing your children.
And your enemies, crazed and desperate, will turn on themselves,
    killing each other in a frenzy of self-destruction.
Then everyone will know that I, God,
    have saved you—I, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

24 Can plunder be taken from warriors,(A)
    or captives be rescued from the fierce[a]?

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)
