21 It pleased Yahweh, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law
    and make it honorable.
22 But this is a robbed and plundered people.
    All of them are snared in holes,
    and they are hidden in prisons.
They have become captives, and no one delivers,
    and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’

23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this?
    Who will listen and hear for the time to come?

    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?
