Isaiah 42:21-23
Revised Standard Version
Israel’s Disobedience
21 The Lord was pleased, for his righteousness’ sake,
to magnify his law and make it glorious.
22 But this is a people robbed and plundered,
they are all of them trapped in holes
and hidden in prisons;
they have become a prey with none to rescue,
a spoil with none to say, “Restore!”
23 Who among you will give ear to this,
will attend and listen for the time to come?
Isaiah 42:21-23
New International Version
21 It pleased the Lord
for the sake(A) of his righteousness
to make his law(B) great and glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered(C) and looted,
all of them trapped in pits(D)
or hidden away in prisons.(E)
They have become plunder,
with no one to rescue them;(F)
they have been made loot,
with no one to say, “Send them back.”
23 Which of you will listen to this
or pay close attention(G) in time to come?
