17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed,who trust in graven images,who say to the molded images, “You are our gods.”
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 pleasedfor His righteousness’ saketo 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.”
23 Who among you will give ear to this?Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
