Isaiah 42:21-25

The LORD always does right, and so he wanted his Law to be greatly praised. But his people were trapped and imprisoned in holes with no one to rescue them. All they owned had been taken, and no one was willing to give it back. Why won't his people ever learn to listen? Israel sinned and refused to obey the LORD or follow his instructions. So the LORD let us be robbed of everything we owned. He was furious with us and punished our nation with the fires of war. Still we paid no attention. We didn't even care when we were surrounded and scorched by flames.
