“Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured.All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity.Those who plunder you will be plunder.I will make all who prey on you become prey.”

Context Reading
14All your lovers have forgotten you.They don’t seek you.For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,with the chastisement of a cruel one,for the greatness of your iniquity,because your sins were increased. 15Why do you cry over your injury?Your pain is incurable.For the greatness of your iniquity,because your sins have increased,I have done these things to you. 16Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured.All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity.Those who plunder you will be plunder.I will make all who prey on you become prey. 17For I will restore health to you,and I will heal you of your wounds,” says Yahweh,“because they have called you an outcast,saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’” 18Yahweh says:“Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents,and have compassion on his dwelling places.The city will be built on its own hill,and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.
