    who will attend and listen for the time to come?
24 Who gave up Jacob to the spoiler
    and Israel to the robbers?
Was it not the Lord, against whom they sinned,[a]
    in whose ways they would not walk,
    and whose law they would not obey?(A)
25 So he poured upon him the heat of his anger

    it burned him, but he did not take it to heart.(B)

  1. 42.24 Gk Tg: Heb we sinned

23 Which of you will listen to this,
    will pay attention and respond from now on?
24 Who gave Jacob to the looter,
    and Israel to the plunderers?
Wasn’t it the Lord,
    the one we sinned against?
They were not willing to walk in God’s ways,
    and wouldn’t listen to his teaching.
