Isaiah 42:19

Blind And Deaf Israel

¹⁸ Hear, you deaf!
And look, you blind, that you may see.
¹⁹ Who is blind but My servant,
Or so deaf as My messenger whom I send?
Who is so blind as he that is at peace with Me,
Or so blind as the servant of the Lord?
²⁰ You have seen many things, but you do not observe them;
Your ears are open, but none hears.
