17. They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten 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 sent? who is blind as he who is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
20. Seeing many things, but you observe not; opening the ears, but he hears not.
21. The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honorable.
22. But this is a people robbed and plundered; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivers; for a spoil, and none says, 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 a 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.
