Isaiah 42:20-22
The Voice
20 The seer-of-much nevertheless doesn’t get it;
privy to sound and speech and tone, he still doesn’t hear.
21 On account of God’s goodness, His right ways and deeds,
the Eternal was pleased to make the instruction grand and glorious.
22 But this people is compromised.
They’ve been plundered and robbed.
They have lost—things, liberty, place, and name.
They are all trapped in holes and tucked away in prisons.
They’ve been plundered and depleted with none to the rescue.
They’ve been stolen away with none to insist, “Give them back.”
Isaiah 42:20-22
New International Version
20 You have seen many things, but you pay no attention;
your ears are open, but you do not listen.”(A)
21 It pleased the Lord
for the sake(B) of his righteousness
to make his law(C) great and glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered(D) and looted,
all of them trapped in pits(E)
or hidden away in prisons.(F)
They have become plunder,
with no one to rescue them;(G)
they have been made loot,
with no one to say, “Send them back.”
Isaiah 42:20-22
King James Version
20 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
21 The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
