NETBible

I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will get drunk on their own blood, as if it were wine. Then all humankind will recognize that I am the Lord, your deliverer, your protector, the powerful ruler of Jacob.”

NET Notes

sn Verse 26a depicts siege warfare and bloody defeat. The besieged enemy will be so starved they will their own flesh. The bloodstained bodies lying on the blood-soaked battle site will look as if they collapsed in drunkenness.

tn Heb “flesh” (so KJV, NASB).

tn Heb “your redeemer.” See the note at 41:14.

tn Heb “the powerful [one] of Jacob.” See 1:24.
