Isaiah 42:23-25

Living Bible

²³ Won’t even one of you apply these lessons from the past and see the ruin that awaits you up ahead? ²⁴ Who let Israel be robbed and hurt? Did not the Lord? It is the Lord they sinned against, for they would not go where he sent them nor listen to his laws. ²⁵ That is why God poured out such fury and wrath on his people and destroyed them in battle. Yet, though set on fire and burned, they will not understand the reason why—that it is God, wanting them to repent.^[a]
