Isaiah 42:21-23

Modern English Version

²¹ The Lord is well pleased
    for His righteousness’ sake
    to magnify the law and make it honorable.
²² But this is a people robbed and despoiled;
    they are all snared in holes,
    and they are hidden in prison houses;
they are for a prey,
    and no one delivers,
for a spoil,
    and no one says, “Restore them.”
