¹⁰ You make us retreat from the foe,
and those who hate us
have taken plunder for themselves.^(A)

⁶ I will send him against a godless nation;
I will command him to go
against a people destined for my rage,
to take spoils, to plunder,^(A)
and to trample them down like clay^(B) in the streets.

²² But this is a people plundered and looted,
all of them trapped in holes
or imprisoned in dungeons.
They have become plunder^(A)
with no one to rescue them
and loot, with no one saying, “Give it back!”
²³ Who among you will hear this?
Let him listen and obey in the future.
²⁴ Who gave Jacob to the robber,^[a]
and Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the Lord?
Have we not sinned against him?
They were not willing to walk in his ways,
and they would not listen to his instruction.
