18  nHear, ye deaf;

And olook, ye blind, that ye may see.

19  pWho is blind, but qmy servant?

Or deaf, as my messenger that I sent?

Who is blind as he that is perfect,

And blind as qthe Lord’s servant?

20  rSeeing many things, sbut thou observest not;

tOpening the ears, but he heareth not.

21  The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake;

He uwill magnify the law, and make ||it honourable.

22  But this is a people robbed and spoiled;

||They are all of them snared in holes,

And they are hid in prison houses:

They are vfor a prey, and none delivereth;

v†For wa spoil, and none saith, Restore.

23  Who among you will give ear to this?

Who will hearken and hear †for the time to come?

24  Who gave Jacob for wa spoil, and Israel to the robbers?

Did not the Lord, he against whom we have sinned?

For they would not walk in his ways,

Neither were they obedient unto his law.

25  xTherefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle:

And yit hath set him on fire round about, zyet he knew not;

And it burned him, yet he alaid it not to heart.
