Isaiah 42:21-25
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
21 It was the Lord’s will for the sake of his justice
to make his teaching great and glorious.
22 This is a people[a] plundered and despoiled,
all of them trapped in holes,
hidden away in prisons.
They are taken as plunder, with no one to rescue them,
as spoil, with no one to say, “Give back!”
23 Who among you will give ear to this,
listen and pay attention from now on?
24 Who was it that gave Jacob to be despoiled,
Israel to the plunderers?[b]
Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned?
In his ways they refused to walk,
his teaching they would not heed.
25 So he poured out wrath upon them,
his anger, and the fury of battle;
It blazed all around them, yet they did not realize,
it burned them, but they did not take it to heart.

Isaiah 42:21-25
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?
24 Who handed Jacob over to become loot,
and Israel to the plunderers?(H)
Was it not the Lord,(I)
against whom we have sinned?
For they would not follow(J) his ways;
they did not obey his law.(K)
25 So he poured out on them his burning anger,(L)
the violence of war.
It enveloped them in flames,(M) yet they did not understand;(N)
it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.(O)
