Isaiah 42:20-22
EasyEnglish Bible
20 You Israelites have seen many things,
    but you do not understand them.
You have opened your ears to listen,
    but you have not really heard anything.’
21 The Lord always does what is right. So he has made his law great and important. He is happy when people respect his law.
22 But enemies have robbed God's people and they have taken away all their valuable things. Their enemies have caught them in traps and they have made them prisoners. There is nobody who will rescue them. Their enemies have stored them safely, and nobody says, ‘Send them back.’

Isaiah 42:20-22
New International Version
20 You have seen many things, but you pay no attention;
    your ears are open, but you do not listen.”(A)
21 It pleased the Lord
    for the sake(B) of his righteousness
    to make his law(C) great and glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered(D) and looted,
    all of them trapped in pits(E)
    or hidden away in prisons.(F)
They have become plunder,
    with no one to rescue them;(G)
they have been made loot,
    with no one to say, “Send them back.”
