Isaiah 42:24-25

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁴ Who put Jacob's descendants
    under the power of their enemies?
Who gave the Israelites
    to people who would rob them?
It was the Lord!
    He is the one that we have not obeyed.
His people did not live in the way that he wanted.
    They did not obey his law.
²⁵ So the Lord was very angry with them.
    He punished them with a cruel war.
His anger was like a fire all round them,
    but they did not understand what he was doing.
His anger burned them,
    but they did not learn their lesson.
