Isaiah 42:23-25
New Century Version
Isaiah 42:23-25
New Century Version
23 Will any of you listen to this?
Will you listen carefully in the future?
24 Who let the people of Jacob be carried off?
Who let robbers take Israel away?
The Lord allowed this to happen,
because we sinned against him.
We did not live the way he wanted us to live
and did not obey his teaching.
25 So he became very angry with us
and brought terrible wars against us.
It was as if the people of Israel had fire all around them,
but they didn’t know what was happening.
It was as if they were burning,
but they didn’t pay any attention.
Isaiah 42:23-25
New International Version
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)
