Yeshayah 42:16-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

16. And I will bring the ivrim (blind) by a derech that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known; I will make choshech into ohr before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

17. They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in pesel, that say to the masekhah (molten images), You (plural) are eloheinu (our g-ds).

18. Hear, ye chereshim (deaf people); and look, ye ivrim (blind people) that ye may see.

19. Who is ivver (blind), but Avdi (Yisroel]? Or cheresh (deaf), like malachi that I sent? Who is ivver (blind) like meshullam (the one committed) [to Me] and ivver like the Eved Hashem [i.e., Yisroel].

20. Seeing rabbot, but thou observest not; opening the oznayim, but he heareth not.

21. Hashem is well pleased lema'an (for the sake of) His tzedek; He will magnify the torah, and make it glorious.

22. But this is Am (People) robbed and looted; they are all of them snared in holes, or hidden in batei kela'im (dungeons): they are for plunder, and none delivereth; for loot, and none saith, Give it back!
