Isaiah 42:21-23

Contemporary English Version

²¹ The Lord always does right,
and so he wanted his Law
    to be greatly praised.^[a]
22 But his people were trapped
and imprisoned in holes
    with no one to rescue them.
All they owned had been taken,
and no one was willing
    to give it back.
²³ Why won't his people
    ever learn to listen?
