Isaiah 42:24-25
The Voice
God is the one who lies behind these events. He makes it possible for His people to be defeated and taken away.
24 Wasn’t it the Lord, because we turned our backs,
who gave up Jacob’s descendants, Israel, for robbery and plunder?
We refused to live as God would have us live. We did not heed
the instruction that God gave us through Moses so long ago.
25 That’s why God sent all fury against Jacob
in the shape of war, and we were burned.
We experienced all this;
Yet we didn’t get it. God’s people did not take it to heart.

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