'Blind' in the Bible
Stop and take some time and wonder [at this prophecy],Blind yourselves and be blinded [at its fulfillment by your spiritual incompetence].They are drunk, but not from wine;They stagger, but not from strong drink.
On that day the deaf will hear the words of a book,And out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see [the words of the book].
Then the eyes of the blind will be openedAnd the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
To open the eyes of the blind,To bring out prisoners from the dungeonAnd those who sit in darkness from the prison.
“I will lead the blind by a way they do not know;I will guide them in paths that they do not know.I will make darkness into light before themAnd rugged places into plains.These things I will do [for them],And I will not leave them abandoned or undone.”
Who is blind but My servant [Israel],Or deaf like My messenger whom I send?Who is blind like the one who is at peace with Me [in a covenant relationship],Or so blind as the servant of the Lord?
Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes,And the deaf, even though they have ears.
Israel’s watchmen are blind,They are all without knowledge.They are all mute dogs, they cannot bark;Panting, lying down, they love to slumber.
We grope for a wall like the blind,We grope like those who have no eyes.We stumble at midday as in the twilight;Among those who are healthy we are like dead men.
