16. And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them.
17. They are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god.
18. Hear, ye deaf, and, ye blind, behold that you may see.
19. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, but he to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, but he that is sold? or who is blind, but the servant of the Lord?
20. 20. Thou that seest many things, wilt thou not observe them? thou that hast ears open, wilt thou not hear?
21. And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and exalt it.
22. But this is a people that is robbed and wasted: they are all the snare of young men, and they are hid in the houses of prisons: they are made a prey, and there is none to deliver them: a spoil, and there is none that saith: Restore.
23. Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will attend and hearken for times to come?
24. Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to robbers? hath not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, and they have not hearkened to his law.
