21 Adonai was pleased,
for the sake of His righteousness,
to make Torah great and glorious.
22 But this is a people robbed and looted.
all of them trapped in holes,
    hidden away in prisons.
They have become a prey
    with no one to deliver them,
and plunder,
    with none to say, “Give them back!”
23 Who among you will give ear to this?
Who will listen and heed hereafter?

    or pay close attention(G) in time to come?
