Isaiah 49:26

And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh - a phrase for internal strifes ().

They shall be drunken with their own blood - a just retribution for their having shed the blood of God's servants ().

As with sweet wine - i:e., must, or new wine, the pure juice which flows from the heap of grapes before they are pressed; the ancients could preserve it for a long time, so as to retain its flavour. It was so mild that it required a large quantity to intoxicate; thus the idea here is that very much blood would be shed (; ).

All flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour - the effect on the world of God's judgments (Isaiah 66:15; Isaiah 66:18; Revelation 15:3).

Remarks: The word which proceedeth out of the mouth of the Son of God, is "like a sharp sword" with two edges, opening a passage for the saving entrance of the truth into some, and cutting asunder those who perversely reject the offer of salvation. "From the womb" Messiah was designated by "name" to be the Saviour. He was sent forth, by the Father as a "polished shaft," heretofore 'hid in his quiver,' but now manifested in due time. God is "glorified" in Jesus, who is the true "Israel," the Prince with God who prevails in His conflict for man's salvation by His inherent righteousness. Many were the discouragements which He had to encounter; and often He seemed to 'spend His strength for sought, and in vain;' but His invincible faith assures Him that His cause was in the hands of His God, and therefore must ultimately triumph.
