Isaiah 42:21-23

Good News Translation

²¹ The Lord is a God who is eager to save,
    so he exalted his laws and teachings,
    and he wanted his people to honor them.
²² But now his people have been plundered;
    they are locked up in dungeons
    and hidden away in prisons.
They were robbed and plundered,
    with no one to come to their rescue.

²³ Will any of you listen to this?
    From now on will you listen with care?
