Isaiah 42:19 Context
17¶ They shall be turned backe, they shalbe greatly ashamed, that trust in grauen images, that say to the moulten images; Ye are our gods. 18Heare ye deafe, and looke ye blinde that ye may see. 19Who is blinde, but my seruant? or deafe, as my messenger that I sent? who is blinde as he that is perfit, and blinde as the Lords seruant? 20Seeing many things, but thou obseruest not: opening the eares, but he heareth not. 21The Lord is well pleased for his righteousnes sake, he will magnifie the Law, and make it honourable.
