“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.”
Isaiah 42:24 (WEB)
Context Reading
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. 25Therefore 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.”
