Isaiah 42:18-22
New American Standard Bible
18 (A)Hear, you who are deaf!
And look, you who are blind, so that you may see.
19 Who is blind but My (B)servant,
Or so deaf as My (C)messenger whom I send?
Who is so blind as one who is [a](D)at peace with Me,
Or so blind as the servant of the Lord?
20 (E)You have seen many things, but you do not retain them;
Your ears are open, but no one hears.
21 The Lord was pleased for His righteousness’ sake
To make the Law (F)great and glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered and pillaged;
All of them are (G)trapped in [b]caves,
Or are (H)hidden away in prisons;
They have become plunder, with no one to save them,
And spoils with no one to say, “Give them back!”

They have become a prey with none to deliver them,
And a spoil, with none to say, “Give them back!”

Israel Blind and Deaf
18 “Hear, you deaf;(A)
look, you blind, and see!
19 Who is blind(B) but my servant,(C)
and deaf like the messenger(D) I send?
Who is blind like the one in covenant(E) with me,
blind like the servant of the Lord?
20 You have seen many things, but you pay no attention;
your ears are open, but you do not listen.”(F)
21 It pleased the Lord
for the sake(G) of his righteousness
to make his law(H) great and glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered(I) and looted,
all of them trapped in pits(J)
or hidden away in prisons.(K)
They have become plunder,
with no one to rescue them;(L)
they have been made loot,
with no one to say, “Send them back.”
