“But this is a robbed and plundered people.All of them are snared in holes,and they are hidden in prisons.They have become captives, and no one delivers,and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’”
Isaiah 42:22 (WEB)
Context Reading
20You see many things, but don’t observe.His ears are open, but he doesn’t listen. 21It pleased Yahweh, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the lawand make it honorable. 22But this is a robbed and plundered people.All of them are snared in holes,and they are hidden in prisons.They have become captives, and no one delivers,and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’ 23Who is there among you who will give ear to this?Who will listen and hear for the time to come? 24Who 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.
