Isaiah 42:23-25

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²³ Who among you will pay attention to this?
Let him listen and obey in the future.
²⁴ Who gave Jacob to the robber,^[a]
and Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the Lord?
Have we not sinned against Him?
They were not willing to walk in His ways,
and they would not listen to His instruction.
²⁵ So He poured out on Jacob His furious anger
and the power of war.
It surrounded him with fire, but he did not know it;
it burned him, but he paid no attention.^[b](A)
