Israel’s Obstinate Disobedience
He will exalt the law and make it honorable.
All of them are1 snared in holes,
And they are hidden in prison houses;
They are for prey, and no one delivers;
For plunder, and no one says, “Restore!”
Was it not the Lord,
He against whom we have sinned?
aFor they would not walk in His ways,
Nor were they obedient to His law.
And the strength of battle;
aIt has set him on fire all around,
bYet he did not know;
And it burned him,
Yet he did not take it to cheart.
| << Isaiah 42:21 | Isaiah 42:23 >> |
