¹⁸ Hear, you deaf;
    look, you blind, that you may see.
¹⁹ Who is blind, but My servant?
    Or deaf, as My messenger whom I sent?
Who is blind as he who is at peace with Me,
    and blind as the servant of the Lord?
²⁰ You have seen many things, but you do not observe them;
    your ears are open, but no one hears.
²¹ The Lord is well pleased
    for His righteousness’ sake
    to magnify the law and make it honorable.
²² But this is a people robbed and despoiled;
    they are all snared in holes,
    and they are hidden in prison houses;
they are for a prey,
    and no one delivers,
for a spoil,
    and no one says, “Restore them.”
