But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

Notes

Isaiah 42:22–25

Throughout its history, Israel's sins (Isaiah 42:24) made it vulnerable to foreign oppressors. Many nations, especially Assyria and Babylon, became tools God used to express his anger (Isaiah 42:25) toward his rebellious people.
