Isaiah 42:19

Blind And Deaf Israel

¹⁸ “Listen, you deaf!
Look, you blind, so that you may see.
¹⁹ Who is blind but My servant,
or deaf like My messenger I am sending?
Who is blind like My dedicated one,
or blind like the servant of the Lord?
²⁰ Though seeing many things, you do not obey.
Though his ears are open, he does not listen.”
