Isaiah 42:21-23

New American Standard Bible

²¹The Lord was pleased for His righteousness’ sake
To make the Law ^(A)great and glorious.
²²But this is a people plundered and pillaged;
All of them are ^(B)trapped in ^[a]caves,
Or are ^(C)hidden away in prisons;
They have become plunder, with no one to save them,
And spoils with no one to say, “Give them back!”

²³Who among you will listen to this?
Who will pay attention and listen in the time to come?
