18. Hear, you deaf! Look, you blind, so you may see.
19. Who is blind, but My Servant? Or deaf as My Messenger that I send? Who is so blind as the one in covenant with Me, blind as Adonai’s Servant?
20. You have seen many things, but you do not pay attention. Though ears are open, no one hears.”
21. Adonai was pleased, for the sake of His righteousness, to make Torah great and glorious.
22. But this is a people robbed and looted. all of them trapped in holes, hidden away in prisons. They have become a prey with no one to deliver them, and plunder, with none to say, “Give them back!”
23. Who among you will give ear to this? Who will listen and heed hereafter?
24. Who gave Jacob to the looter, Israel to the plunderers? Was it not Adonai? Have we not sinned against Him? In His ways they were unwilling to walk and His Torah they did not obey.
