Isaiah 49:24-26
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 49:24-26
Contemporary English Version
The Lord Is on Our Side
24 Is it possible to rescue victims
from someone strong
and cruel?[a]
25 But the Lord has promised
to fight on our side
and to rescue our children
from those strong
and violent enemies.
26 He will make those cruel people
dine on their own flesh
and get drunk from drinking
their own blood.
Then everyone will know
that the Lord is our Savior;
the powerful God of Israel
has rescued his people.
