Isaiah 42:21
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The LORD was pleased, for the sake of His righteousness, to magnify His law and make it glorious.
In context
19 Who is blind but My servant, or deaf like the messenger I am sending? Who is blind like My covenant partner, or blind like the servant of the LORD?
20 Though seeing many things, you do not keep watch. Though your ears are open, you do not hear.”
21 The LORD was pleased, for the sake of His righteousness, to magnify His law and make it glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered and looted, all trapped in caves or imprisoned in dungeons. They have become plunder with no one to rescue them, and loot with no one to say, “Send them back!”
23 Who among you will pay attention to this? Who will listen and obey hereafter?
