Yesaya 49:26
Konteks49:26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh;
they will get drunk on their own blood, as if it were wine. 1
Then all humankind 2 will recognize that
I am the Lord, your deliverer,
your protector, 3 the powerful ruler of Jacob.” 4
Yesaya 56:5
Konteks56:5 I will set up within my temple and my walls a monument 5
that will be better than sons and daughters.
I will set up a permanent monument 6 for them that will remain.
