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.

New American Standard Bible
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.
