Israel Refused to Listen to the Lord

18 “You who are deaf, hear me.
    You who are blind, look and see.
19 ·No one [L Who…?] is more blind than my servant Israel
    or more deaf than the messenger I send.
·No one [L Who…?] is more blind than ·the person I own [or my covenant people]
    or more blind than the servant of the Lord.
20 Israel, you have seen much, but you have not ·obeyed [kept/guarded them].
    ·You hear [Your ears are open], but you refuse to listen.”
21 The Lord ·made his teachings wonderful [L magnified and made glorious his instruction/law/Torah],
    because ·he is good [or of his righteousness].
22 These people have been ·defeated and robbed [plundered and looted].
    They are trapped in pits
    or ·locked up [hidden] in prison.
·Like robbers, enemies have taken them away [L They have become plunder],
    and there is no one to ·save [rescue] them.
·Enemies carried them off [L They have become loot],
    and no one said, “Bring them back.”
