Isaiah 49:24

Shall prey, be taken from a mighty one? Or the captive of one in the right, be delivered?

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

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

In Context

23And, kings, shall be, thy foster-fathers. And their queens, thy nursing mothers, With face to the ground, shall they bow down to thee, The dust of thy feet, shall they lick,—So shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh, In that, they shall not be put to shame, Who were waiting for me.

25Surely, thus, saith Yahweh—Even the captive of the mighty one, shall be taken away, And the prey of the tyrant, be delivered; And thine opposers, I, will oppose, And thy children, I, will save;
