Isaiah 42:21-23

Living Bible

²¹ The Lord has magnified his law and made it truly glorious. Through it he had planned to show the world that he is righteous. ²² But what a sight his people are—these who were to demonstrate to all the world the glory of his law;^[a] for they are robbed, enslaved, imprisoned, trapped, fair game for all, with no one to protect them. ²³ Won’t even one of you apply these lessons from the past and see the ruin that awaits you up ahead?
