Isaiah 42:23-25
Easy-to-Read Version
23 Will any of you pay attention to this warning? Will you ever learn to listen? 24 Who let Jacob be defeated? Who let others take what belonged to Israel? The Lord allowed them to do this. We sinned against him, so he let people take away our wealth. The people did not want to live the way he wanted. They refused to listen to his teaching. 25 So he poured out his anger on them and brought wars against them. It was as if there were fires all around them, but they didn’t know what was happening. It was as if they were burning, but they didn’t try to understand.

Isaiah 42:23-25
New International Version
23 Which of you will listen to this
or pay close attention(A) in time to come?
24 Who handed Jacob over to become loot,
and Israel to the plunderers?(B)
Was it not the Lord,(C)
against whom we have sinned?
For they would not follow(D) his ways;
they did not obey his law.(E)
25 So he poured out on them his burning anger,(F)
the violence of war.
It enveloped them in flames,(G) yet they did not understand;(H)
it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.(I)
