Who among you will listen to this?
Who will listen and pay attention in the time to come?
24 
Who gave up Jacob [the kingdom of Judah] for spoil, and [the kingdom of] Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the Lord, He against whom we [of Judah] have sinned,
And in whose ways they [of Israel] were unwilling to walk,
And whose law and teaching they did not obey?
25 
Therefore He poured out on Israel the heat of His anger
And the fierceness of battle;
And engulfed him in fire,
Yet he did not recognize [the lesson of repentance which the Assyrian conquest was intended to teach];
It burned him, but he did not take it to heart.

23 Who among you will listen to this?
Who will pay attention and listen in the time to come?
24 Who gave Jacob up for spoils, and Israel to plunderers?
Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned,
And in whose ways they (A)were not willing to walk,
And whose Law they did not (B)obey?
25 So He poured out on him the heat of His anger
And the (C)fierceness of battle;
And it set him aflame all around,
Yet he did not recognize it;
And it burned him, but he [a](D)paid no attention.
