Isaiah 42:23-25
Lexham English Bible
23 Who among you will heed this,
will listen attentively and listen, for the time to come?[a]
24 Who gave Jacob to a plunderer[b]
and Israel to those who plunder?
Was it not Yahweh, against whom[c] we have sinned?
And they were not willing to walk in his ways,
and they would not obey[d] his law.
25 So[e] he poured the wrath of his anger upon him
and the strength of war.
And it set him afire all around, but[f] he did not understand;[g]
and it burned him, but[h] he did not take it to heart.

Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned,
And in whose ways they (A)were not willing to walk,
