Isaiah 49:24
Douay-Rheims
Shall the prey be taken from the strong? or can that which was taken by the mighty be delivered?
Ibn Ezra
Shall the prey, etc. These words are put into the mouth of Israel by the prophet. How is it possible, the people ask, that Israel should be delivered from the power of the heathen nations ? המלקח The prey, which he has taken, that is, the captives. ואם שבי צדיק ימלט Or shall the righteous captive be delivered, because of his righteousness, after having been taken by the mighty.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
