You have seen many things, but you do not observe them;
Your ears are open, but no one hears.
21 
The Lord was pleased for His righteousness’ sake
To make the law great and prove to be glorious.

All of them are trapped in holes,
Or are hidden away in prisons.
They have become a prey with no one to rescue them,
And a spoil, with no one to say, “Give them back!”(A)
