Isaiah 42:23-25
New King James Version
23 Who among you will give ear to this?
Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
24 Who gave Jacob for plunder, and Israel to the robbers?
Was it not the Lord,
He against whom we have sinned?
(A)For they would not walk in His ways,
Nor were they obedient to His law.
25 Therefore He has poured on him the fury of His anger
And the strength of battle;
(B)It has set him on fire all around,
(C)Yet he did not know;
And it burned him,
Yet he did not take it to (D)heart.
Isaiah 42:23-25
Lexham English Bible
23 Who among you will heed this,
will listen attentively and listen, for the time to come?[a]
24 Who gave Jacob to a plunderer[b]
and Israel to those who plunder?
Was it not Yahweh, against whom[c] we have sinned?
And they were not willing to walk in his ways,
and they would not obey[d] his law.
25 So[e] he poured the wrath of his anger upon him
and the strength of war.
And it set him afire all around, but[f] he did not understand;[g]
and it burned him, but[h] he did not take it to heart.
