The context
22But this is a people plundered and despoiled; all of them are trapped in the holes, and in houses of prison they are hidden; they have become plunder, and there is no one to deliver; spoil, and there is no one to say, “Give it back!”
23 · This verse (above)
24Who gave Jacob to spoil, and Israel to plunderers? Was it not YHWH, this one against whom we have sinned? And they were not willing to walk in his ways, and they did not listen to his instruction.
