“Hear, you deaf;
    look, you blind, and see!
Who is blind but my servant,
    and deaf like the messenger I send?
Who is blind like the one in covenant with me,
    blind like the servant of the Lord?
 You have seen many things, but you pay no attention;
    your ears are open, but you do not listen.”
It pleased the Lord
    for the sake of his righteousness
    to make his law great and glorious.”

(Isaiah 42: 8-21)
