They have become plunder with no one to rescue them, and loot with no one to say, “Send them back!” 23 Who among you will pay attention to this? Who will listen and obey hereafter? 24 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. 25 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.
