Isaiah 49:24-26
New International Version
25 But this is what the Lord says:
“Yes, captives(B) will be taken from warriors,(C)
and plunder retrieved from the fierce;(D)
I will contend with those who contend with you,(E)
and your children I will save.(F)
26 I will make your oppressors(G) eat(H) their own flesh;
they will be drunk on their own blood,(I) as with wine.
Then all mankind will know(J)

24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
