People will take them
    and bring them to their own place.
    The nation of Israel will possess nations
    as male and female slaves in Yahweh’s land.
    They will take their captors captive
    and rule their oppressors.

When that day comes, Yahweh will give you relief
    from your pain and suffering,
    from the hard slavery you were forced to do.

    “How the tyrant has come to an end!
    How his attacks have come to an end!”
