17. They shall be turned back,They shall be greatly ashamed,Who trust in carved images,Who say to the molded images,‘You are our gods.’
18. “Hear, you deaf;And look, you blind, that you may see.
19. Who is blind but My servant,Or deaf as My messenger whom I send?Who is blind as he who is perfect,And blind as the Lord’s servant?
20. Seeing many things, but you do not observe;Opening the ears, but he does not hear.”
21. The Lord is well pleased for His righteousness’ sake;He will exalt the law and make it honorable.
22. But this is a people robbed and plundered;All of them are snared in holes,And they are hidden in prison houses;They are for prey, and no one delivers;For plunder, and no one says, “Restore!”
