Isaiah 42:21-23

The Voice

²¹ On account of God’s goodness, His right ways and deeds,
    the Eternal was pleased to make the instruction grand and glorious.
²² But this people is compromised.
    They’ve been plundered and robbed.
    They have lost—things, liberty, place, and name.
They are all trapped in holes and tucked away in prisons.
    They’ve been plundered and depleted with none to the rescue.
They’ve been stolen away with none to insist, “Give them back.”
²³ Is there anyone who understands? Who, out of all of you, will pay attention,
    understand, and take note concerning what’s to come?
