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.”
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)”
