23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this?
    Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
24 Who gave Jacob as plunder,
    and Israel to the robbers?
    Didn’t Yahweh, he against whom we have sinned?
    For they would not walk in his ways,
    and they disobeyed his law.
25 Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him,
    and the strength of battle.
It set him on fire all around, but he didn’t know.
    It burned him, but he didn’t 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.
