Isaiah 42:23-25
New International Reader's Version
Isaiah 42:23-25
New International Reader's Version
23 Family of Jacob, who among you will listen to what I’m saying?
People of Israel, which one of you will pay close attention in days to come?
24 Who allowed you to be carried off like stolen goods?
Who handed you over to robbers?
The Lord did it!
We have sinned against him.
Israel, you wouldn’t follow his ways.
You didn’t obey his law.
25 So he poured out his great anger on you.
He had many of you killed in battle.
You were surrounded by flames.
But you didn’t realize what was happening.
Many of you were destroyed.
But you didn’t learn anything from it.

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)
