Isaiah 42:22-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 This is a people[a] plundered and despoiled,
all of them trapped in holes,
hidden away in prisons.
They are taken as plunder, with no one to rescue them,
as spoil, with no one to say, “Give back!”
23 Who among you will give ear to this,
listen and pay attention from now on?
24 Who was it that gave Jacob to be despoiled,
Israel to the plunderers?[b]
Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned?
In his ways they refused to walk,
his teaching they would not heed.
