Isaiah 49:25

Of David. Contend, O Yahweh, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me.

Its roaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions; It growls and seizes the prey And carries it off with no one to deliver it.

And it will become a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Champion, and He will deliver them.

For You have been a strong defense for the poor, A strong defense for the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of the ruthless Is like a rain storm against a wall.

And it will be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God in whom we have hoped that He would save us. This is Yahweh in whom we have hoped; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, They will sanctify My name; Indeed, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob And will stand trembling before the God of Israel.

For Yahweh is our judge, Yahweh is our lawgiver, Yahweh is our king; He will save us—

“Speak to the heart of Jerusalem; And call out to her, that her warfare has been fulfilled, That her iniquity has been removed, That she has received from the hand of Yahweh Double for all her sins.”

Thus says your Lord, Yahweh, even your God Who contends for His people, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of reeling, The chalice of My wrath; You will never drink it again.

“So I will deliver you from the hand of the evil ones, And I will redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless ones.”

“Behold, I am against you,” declares Yahweh of hosts. “And I will burn up her chariots in smoke, and a sword will devour your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the land, and no longer will the voice of your messengers be heard.”

“But no one can enter the strong man’s house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.
