Isaiah 42:18-25
18HearH8085, ye deafH2795; and lookH5027, ye blindH5787, that ye may seeH7200.
19Who is blindH5787, but my servantH5650? or deafH2795, as my messengerH4397 that I sentH7971? who is blindH5787 as he that is perfectH7999, and blindH5787 as Yhwh'sH3068 servantH5650?
20SeeingH7200 many thingsH7227, but thou observestH8104 not; openingH6491 the earsH241, but he hearethH8085 not.
21YhwhH3068 is well pleasedH2654 for his righteousness’H6664 sake; he will magnifyH1431 the lawH8451, and make it honourableH142.1
22But this is a peopleH5971 robbedH962 and spoiledH8154; they are all of them snaredH6351 in holesH970H2352, and they are hidH2244 in prisonH3608 housesH1004: they are for a preyH957, and none deliverethH5337; for a spoilH4933, and none saithH559, RestoreH7725.23
23Who among you will give earH238 to this? who will hearkenH7181 and hearH8085 for the time to comeH268?4
24Who gaveH5414 JacobH3290 for a spoilH4882H4933, and IsraelH3478 to the robbersH962? did not YhwhH3068, he against whomH2098 we have sinnedH2398? for they wouldH14 not walkH1980 in his waysH1870, neither were they obedientH8085 unto his lawH8451.
25Therefore he hath pouredH8210 upon him the furyH2534 of his angerH639, and the strengthH5807 of battleH4421: and it hath set him on fireH3857 round aboutH5439, yet he knewH3045 not; and it burnedH1197 him, yet he laidH7760 it not to heartH3820.
