Isaiah 42:22-24

New Century Version

²²These people have been defeated and robbed.
    They are trapped in pits
    or locked up in prison.
Like robbers, enemies have taken them away,
    and there is no one to save them.
Enemies carried them off,
    and no one said, “Bring them back.”

²³Will any of you listen to this?
    Will you listen carefully in the future?
²⁴Who let the people of Jacob be carried off?
    Who let robbers take Israel away?
The Lord allowed this to happen,
    because we sinned against him.
We did not live the way he wanted us to live
    and did not obey his teaching.
