Isaiah 42:21-23

New Living Translation

²¹ Because he is righteous,
    the Lord has exalted his glorious law.
²² But his own people have been robbed and plundered,
    enslaved, imprisoned, and trapped.
They are fair game for anyone
    and have no one to protect them,
    no one to take them back home.

²³ Who will hear these lessons from the past
    and see the ruin that awaits you in the future?
