For 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 the Mighty God shall deliver his covenant people.”
For thus saith the Lord:
“I will contend with them that contendeth with thee—
“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 Savior and thy Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Jacob.”
