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.”

59 Surely the arm^(A) of the Lord is not too short^(B) to save,
    nor his ear too dull to hear.^(C)
2 But your iniquities have separated^(D)
    you from your God;
your sins have hidden his face from you,
    so that he will not hear.^(E)
3 For your hands are stained with blood,^(F)
    your fingers with guilt.^(G)
Your lips have spoken falsely,^(H)
    and your tongue mutters wicked things.
⁴ No one calls for justice;^(I)
    no one pleads a case with integrity.
They rely^(J) on empty arguments, they utter lies;^(K)
    they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.^(L)
5 They hatch the eggs of vipers^(M)
    and spin a spider’s web.^(N)
Whoever eats their eggs will die,
    and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
⁶ Their cobwebs are useless for clothing;
    they cannot cover themselves with what they make.^(O)
Their deeds are evil deeds,
    and acts of violence^(P) are in their hands.
⁷ Their feet rush into sin;
    they are swift to shed innocent blood.^(Q)
They pursue evil schemes;^(R)
    acts of violence mark their ways.^(S)
8 The way of peace they do not know;^(T)
    there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads;^(U)
    no one who walks along them will know peace.^(V)
