24 Can the prey be taken from the mighty,
or the captives of a tyrant ^{▼▼Dead Sea Scroll, Syriac, Vulgate (see also verse 25); Masoretic Text of a righteous man} be rescued?
25 For thus says the Lord:
^e“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken,
and the prey of the tyrant be rescued,
for I will contend with those who contend with you,
and I will save your children.
26 ^fI will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,
and they shall be drunk ^gwith their own blood as with wine.
Then all flesh shall know
that ^hI am the Lord your Savior,
and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Their rulers wail,” declares the Lord, “and ⁿcontinually all the day my name is despised. 6 Therefore my people shall know my name. ^oTherefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.”

17 ^t“Israel is a hunted sheep ^udriven away by lions. ^vFirst the king of Assyria ^wdevoured him, and now at last ^xNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ^yhas gnawed his bones. 18 Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, ^zI am bringing punishment on the king of Babylon and his land, ^aaas I punished the king of Assyria.

Jeremiah 51:34-36

he has filled his stomach with my delicacies;
he has rinsed me out. ^{▼▼Or he has expelled me}
35 The violence done to me and to my kinsmen be upon Babylon,”
let the inhabitant of Zion say.
“My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,”
let Jerusalem say.

“Behold, ^afI will plead your cause
and take vengeance for you.
^agI will dry up her sea
and ^ahmake her fountain dry,
