Isaiah 42:22-25
English Standard Version
22 But this is a people plundered and looted;
they are all of them trapped in holes
(A)and hidden in prisons;
they have become plunder with none to rescue,
spoil with none to say, “Restore!”
23 Who among you will give ear to this,
will attend and listen for the time to come?
24 Who gave up Jacob to the looter,
and Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned,
in whose ways they would not walk,
and whose law they would not obey?
25 So he poured on him the heat of his anger
and the might of battle;
it set him on fire all around, (B)but he did not understand;
it burned him up, (C)but he did not take it to heart.
Isaiah 1:7

7 (A)Your country lies desolate;
your cities are burned with fire;
in your very presence
foreigners devour your land;
it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.

English Standard Version
35 “They (A)struck me,” you will say,[a] “but I was not hurt;

When shall I awake?
I (B)must have another drink.”

3 (A)And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he gave them continually into the hand of (B)Hazael king of Syria and into the hand of (C)Ben-hadad the son of Hazael. 4 Then Jehoahaz (D)sought the favor of the Lord, and the Lord listened to him, (E)for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them. 5 (Therefore the Lord gave Israel (F)a savior, so that they escaped from the hand of the Syrians, and the people of Israel lived in (G)their homes as formerly. 6 Nevertheless, they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, (H)which he made Israel to sin, but walked[a] in them; and (I)the Asherah also remained in Samaria.) 7 For there was not left to Jehoahaz an army of more than fifty horsemen and ten chariots and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Syria had destroyed them and made them like the dust (J)at threshing.
