Isaiah 42:18-22

English Standard Version

¹⁸ Hear, you deaf,
    and look, you blind, that you may see!
¹⁹ Who is blind but my servant,
    or deaf as my messenger whom I send?
Who is blind as my dedicated one,^[a]
    or blind as the servant of the Lord?
^20 (A)He sees many things, but does not observe them;
    ^(B)his ears are open, but he does not hear.
²¹ The Lord was pleased, for his righteousness' sake,
    to magnify his law and make it glorious.
²² But this is a people plundered and looted;
    they are all of them trapped in holes
    ^(C)and hidden in prisons;
they have become plunder with none to rescue,
    spoil with none to say, “Restore!”
