Isaiah 42:18-22
World English Bible
18 “Hear, you deaf,
and look, you blind,
that you may see.
19 Who is blind, but my servant?
Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send?
Who is as blind as he who is at peace,
and as blind as Yahweh’s servant?
20 You see many things, but don’t observe.
His ears are open, but he doesn’t listen.
21 It pleased Yahweh, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law
and make it honorable.
22 But this is a robbed and plundered people.
All of them are snared in holes,
and they are hidden in prisons.
They have become captives, and no one delivers,
and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’
Isaiah 42:18-22
New International Version
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.”
