Isaiah 42:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 The Lord is willing for his righteousness sake, that he may magnify the Law and exalt it.
22 But this people is [a]robbed and spoiled, and shall be all snared in dungeons, and they shall be hid in prison houses; they shall be for prey, and none shall deliver: a spoil, and none shall say, [b]Restore.
23 Who among you shall hearken to this, and take heed, and hear for [c]afterwards?

Isaiah 42:21-23
New International Version
21 It pleased the Lord
for the sake(A) of his righteousness
to make his law(B) great and glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered(C) and looted,
all of them trapped in pits(D)
or hidden away in prisons.(E)
They have become plunder,
with no one to rescue them;(F)
they have been made loot,
with no one to say, “Send them back.”
23 Which of you will listen to this
or pay close attention(G) in time to come?
