23. Which of you will listen to this,will pay attention and respond from now on?
24. Who gave Jacob to the looter,and Israel to the plunderers?Wasn’t it the Lord, the one we sinned against?They were not willing to walk in God’s ways,and wouldn’t listen to his teaching.
25. So God poured out on Jacob the heat of his angerand the fury of battle.It scorched him, and he didn’t know it;it burned him, but he didn’t give it much thought.
