Isaiah 42:22-24

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² But this is a people robbed and plundered,
    they are all of them trapped in holes
    and hidden in prisons;
they have become a prey with none to rescue,
    a spoil with none to say, “Restore!”
²³ Who among you will give ear to this,
    will attend and listen for the time to come?
²⁴ Who gave up Jacob to the spoiler,
    and Israel to the robbers?
Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned,
    in whose ways they would not walk,
    and whose law they would not obey?
