23. Who among you will pay attention to this?Who will listen attentively in the future?
24. Who handed Jacob over to the robber?Who handed Israel over to the looters?Was it not the Lord, against whom we sinned?They refused to follow his commands;they disobeyed his law.
25. So he poured out his fierce anger on them,along with the devastation of war.Its flames encircled them, but they did not realize it;it burned against them, but they did notice.
