25 But this is what the Lord says:

“He will seize[a] even the warriors’ plunder,[b]
    and the captives[c] of tyrants will be rescued.
I myself will quarrel with those who have a quarrel with you,[d]
    and I myself will save your children.

26 “I’ll make those who mistreat you[e] eat their own flesh,
    and they will get drunk on their own blood, as with new wine.

“Then all mankind will know that I am the Lord
    your Savior and your Redeemer,
        the Mighty One of Jacob.”
