Isaiah 42:18-22
1599 Geneva Bible
18 ¶ Hear, ye deaf: and ye blind, regard, that ye may see.
19 Who is blind but my [a]servant? or deaf as my [b]messenger, that I sent? who is blind as the [c]perfect, and blind as the Lord’s servant?
20 Seeing many things, but thou keepest them not? opening the ears, but he heareth not?
21 The Lord is willing for his righteousness sake, that he may magnify the Law and exalt it.
22 But this people is [d]robbed and spoiled, and shall be all snared in dungeons, and they shall be hid in prison houses; they shall be for prey, and none shall deliver: a spoil, and none shall say, [e]Restore.
