17. They have been converted again. Let those who trust in graven idols be greatly confounded, for they say to a molten thing, "You are our god."
18. You who are deaf, hear! You who are blind, turn your gaze and see!
19. Who is blind, except my servant? Who is deaf, except the one to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, except the one who has been sold? And who is blind, except the servant of the Lord?
20. You who see many things, will you not keep them? You who have open ears, will you not listen?
21. And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and to exalt him.
22. But this same people has robbed and laid waste. All their youth are a snare, and they have been hidden in houses of confinement. They have become victims; there is no one who may rescue them. They have been plundered; there is no one who may say, "Restore."
23. Who is there among you who will hear this, who will listen closely and heed this in the future?
24. Who has handed over Jacob into plunder, and Israel into devastation? It is not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they were not willing to walk in his ways, and they have not listened to his law.
