21 Hashem is well pleased lema’an (for the sake of) His tzedek; He will magnify the torah, and make it glorious.

22 But this is Am (People) robbed and looted; they are all of them snared in holes, or hidden in batei kela’im (dungeons): they are for plunder, and none delivereth; for loot, and none saith, Give it back!

21 It pleased the Lord
    for the sake(A) of his righteousness
    to make his law(B) great and glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered(C) and looted,
    all of them trapped in pits(D)
    or hidden away in prisons.(E)
They have become plunder,
    with no one to rescue them;(F)
they have been made loot,
    with no one to say, “Send them back.”

23 Which of you will listen to this
    or pay close attention(G) in time to come?
