“Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.”
God promises that all who devoured Israel shall themselves be devoured, and all who oppressed her shall go into captivity. The reversal of fortunes is active divine justice—oppressors will experience what they inflicted. This principle of reciprocal justice assures the suffering people that their humiliation is not final.
