* "
Hear ,
you deaf ,
and look ,
you blind ,
that you may see .
*
Who is blind ,
but my servant ?
Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send ?
Who is as blind as he who is at peace ,
and as blind as Yahweh '
s servant ?
*
You see many things ,
but don '
t observe .
His ears are open ,
but he doesn '
t listen .
*
It pleased Yahweh ,
for his righteousness '
sake ,
to magnify the law ,
and make it honorable .
*
But this is a robbed and plundered people .
All of them are snared in holes ,
and they are hidden in prisons .
They have become a prey ,
and no one delivers ;
and a spoil ,
and no one says , '
Restore them !'
*
Who is there among you who will give ear to this ?
Who will listen and hear for the time to come ?
*
Who gave Jacob as plunder ,
and Israel to the robbers ?
Didn '
t Yahweh ,
he against whom we have sinned ?
For they would not walk in his ways ,
and they disobeyed his law .
*
Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him ,
and the strength of battle ;
and it set him on fire all around ,
but he didn '
t know ;
and it burned him ,
but he didn '
t take it to heart ."
