'Eyes' in the Bible

Your land is devastated, your cities burned with fire. Right before your eyes your crops are being destroyed by foreign invaders. They leave behind devastation and destruction.

The Lord says, "The women of Zion are proud. They walk with their heads high and flirt with their eyes. They skip along and the jewelry on their ankles jingles.

I said, "Too bad for me! I am destroyed, for my lips are contaminated by sin, and I live among people whose lips are contaminated by sin. My eyes have seen the king, the Lord who commands armies."

Make the hearts of these people calloused; make their ears deaf and their eyes blind! Otherwise they might see with their eyes and hear with their ears, their hearts might understand and they might repent and be healed."

Their children will be smashed to pieces before their very eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives raped.

For the Lord has poured out on you a strong urge to sleep deeply. He has shut your eyes (the prophets), and covered your heads (the seers).

At that time the deaf will be able to hear words read from a scroll, and the eyes of the blind will be able to see through deep darkness.

The sovereign master will give you distress to eat and suffering to drink; but your teachers will no longer be hidden; your eyes will see them.

Eyes will no longer be blind and ears will be attentive.

Then blind eyes will open, deaf ears will hear.

Pay attention, Lord, and hear! Open your eyes, Lord, and observe! Listen to this entire message Sennacherib sent and how he taunts the living God!

Like a swallow or a thrush I chirp, I coo like a dove; my eyes grow tired from looking up to the sky. O sovereign master, I am oppressed; help me!

to open blind eyes, to release prisoners from dungeons, those who live in darkness from prisons.

Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes, those who are deaf, even though they have ears!

They do not comprehend or understand, for their eyes are blind and cannot see; their minds do not discern.

Listen, your watchmen shout; in unison they shout for joy, for they see with their very own eyes the Lord's return to Zion.
