Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

21 The Lord was pleased for his righteousness’ sake: he make the law great, and make it glorious.

22 And it is a people spoiled and robbed: snared in holes all of them, and hidden in houses of confinement; they are for a spoil, and there is none that delivereth; a prey, and none that saith, Restore.

23 Who among you will give ear to this? will hearken, and hear for the time to come?

24 Who gave up Jacob for a prey, and Israel to spoilers? was it not the Lord, he against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, and heard not his law.

25 And be poured upon him fury, his anger, and the violence of war; and it set him on fire round about, and he knew not; and kindled upon him, and he laid it not to heart.
