24 Can the prey be taken from the mighty
    or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?

25 For thus says the Lord:

Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,
    and the prey of the tyrant shall be delivered;
for I will contend with him who contends with you,
    and I will save your sons.
26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh,
    and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine.
And all flesh shall know
    that I, the Lord, am your Savior
    and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
