New International Version (NIV)

24Who handed Jacob over to become loot,

and Israel to the plunderers?

Was it not the Lord,

against whom we have sinned?

For they would not follow his ways;

they did not obey his law.

24Who gave Jacob up for spoils, and Israel to plunderers?

Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned,

And in whose ways they were not willing to walk,

And whose Law they did not obey?

24Who gave Jacob up for spoil, and Israel to plunderers?

Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned,

And in whose ways they were not willing to walk,

And whose law they did not obey?

24Who gave up Jacob [the kingdom of Judah] for spoil, and [the kingdom of] Israel to the plunderers?

Was it not the Lord, He against whom we [of Judah] have sinned,

And in whose ways they [of Israel] were unwilling to walk,

And whose law and teaching they did not obey?

24Who gave Jacob up for spoil,

and Israel to the plunderers?

against whom we have sinned?

and they would not obey His law.

Who handed you over to robbers?

The Lord did it!

We have sinned against him.

Israel, you wouldn’t follow his ways.

You didn’t obey his law.
