Isaiah49:26
26. And I will feed them that oppresse 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 make them eat their own Flesh, either through hunger, as Levit. 26. 29. Isa. 9. 20. or through rage and madness. Or, I will make thine enemies to destroy one another, and that greedily and with delight, as the next clause implies. All their enemies are here represented as one body, and so when one part of them devoured another, it was their own flesh that was destroyed.
Marginal references: Rev. 14. 20▪ and 16. 6.; Or, new wine.
