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?

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?
