Isaiah 42:21

Blind And Deaf Israel

²⁰ You see many things, but don't comprehend; their ears are open, but do not hear." ²¹ The Lord wanted to exhibit his justice by magnifying his law and displaying it. ²² But these people are looted and plundered; all of them are trapped in pits and held captive in prisons. They were carried away as loot with no one to rescue them; they were carried away as plunder, and no one says, "Bring that back!"
