In Context

22But, that, is a people preyed upon and plundered, Snared in holes, all of them, And, in houses of restraint, concealed,—They have become a prey, and there is none to deliver,—A booty, and there is none to say—Restore!

24Who gave, as a booty, Jacob. And, Israel, to them who were ready to take prey? Was it not, Yahweh? He against whom we have sinned, And they were not willing, in his ways, to walk, Neither hearkened they to his instruction?
