The rhetorical challenge—'Can the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?'—questions whether liberation from a tyrant is possible. The image of prey taken from a mighty one and captives rescued from a tyrant suggests seemingly impossible liberation. The rhetorical form implies that liberation is indeed possible despite appearances. This verse introduces a crisis of faith before the response.
