21 The Lord ·made his teachings wonderful [L magnified and made glorious his instruction/law/Torah],
    because ·he is good [or of his righteousness].
22 These people have been ·defeated and robbed [plundered and looted].
    They are trapped in pits
    or ·locked up [hidden] in prison.
·Like robbers, enemies have taken them away [L They have become plunder],
    and there is no one to ·save [rescue] them.
·Enemies carried them off [L They have become loot],
    and no one said, “Bring them back.”

23 Will any of you listen to this?
    Will you ·listen carefully [pay attention] in the future?
