But thus says the LORD,
Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contends with you, and I will save your children.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 49:25 Go To Isaiah 49
Leander of Seville
AD 600
Well may that ancient ravager [the devil] mourn that he has lost his prey, for we see it is fulfilled as we have heard it foretold by the prophet. “Yes,” he said, “captives can be taken from a warrior and booty rescued from a tyrant.” The peace of Christ has destroyed the wall of discord built by the devil, and the house that was divided into mutual slaughter is now joined by the cornerstone, which is Christ.
