Isaiah 42:20 Context
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. 22But this is a people robbed and spoiled, they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a praye, & none deliuereth; for a spoile, and none saith, Restore.
