24 Who gave Jacob away as loot
    and handed Israel over to robbers?
    Wasn’t it Yahweh, against whom we have sinned?
    They didn’t want to live his way.
    They didn’t obey his teachings.
25 So he poured out his burning anger and the horrors of war on them.
    It engulfed them in flames, but they did not understand.
    It burned them, but they did not take it to heart.
