But this is a people plundered
and looted,
all trapped
in caves
or
imprisoned
in dungeons.
They have
become
plunder
with
no
one
to
rescue
them
, and loot
with
no
one
to
say
, “Send
them
back!”
But this is a people robbed
and plundered;
they
are
all of
them
snared
in holes,
and
they
are
hid
in prison-houses:
they are
for
a
prey
, and none
delivers;
for
a
spoil
, and
none
says,
Restore.
Who among you will pay
attention
to this? Who will listen and obey
hereafter
?

there
among you who
will give
ear
to this? who will listen and hear
for
the
time
to
come
?
Who gave Jacob up
for spoil, and Israel to the plunderers
? Was
it
not
the
LORD,
against whom we have sinned ?
They
were
unwilling
to
walk
in
His
ways
, and they would not obey
His law.
Who gave Jacob for a
spoil, and Israel to the robbers
? Didn't
Yahweh?
he
against whom we have sinned, and in
whose
ways
they would not walk,
neither
were
they
obedient
to
his law.
So
He poured out
on them
His furious
anger and the fierceness
of battle .
It enveloped
them
in
flames
, but
they
did
not
understand
; it consumed
them
, but
they
did
not
take
it to heart.
Therefore
he poured on him
the
fierceness
of
his anger ,
and the strength
of battle ;
and
it set
him
on
fire
round
about
, yet
he
didn't
know
; and
it burned
him
, yet
he
didn't
lay
it to heart.
