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.

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)
