Isaiah 42:18-22

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ You deaf ones, listen!
You blind ones, watch carefully so that you can see!
¹⁹ Who is as blind as my servant?
Who is as deaf as my messenger whom I sent?
Who is as blind as my associate,^[a]
as blind as the servant of the Lord?
²⁰ You, Israel, see many things, but you do not observe.
Israel opens his ears, but he does not hear.
²¹ Because of his own righteousness,
the Lord was pleased to make his law^[b] great and glorious.
²² But this is a people plundered and looted.
All of them are trapped in holes,
and they are hidden in prisons.
They have become plunder, and there is no rescuer.
They have become loot and no one says, “Give it back!”
