19Who is blind but My servant,
         Or so deaf as My messenger whom I send?
         Who is so blind as he that is at peace with Me,
         Or so blind as the servant of the LORD?

20You have seen many things, but you do not observe them;
         Your ears are open, but none hears.

21The LORD was pleased for His righteousness’ sake
         To make the law great and glorious.

22But this is a people plundered and despoiled;
         All of them are trapped in caves,
         Or are hidden away in prisons;
         They have become a prey with none to deliver them,
         And a spoil, with none to say, “Give them back!”

23Who among you will give ear to this?
         Who will give heed and listen hereafter?

24Who gave Jacob up for spoil, and Israel to plunderers?
         Was it not the LORD, against whom we have sinned,
         And in whose ways they were not willing to walk,
         And whose law they did not obey?

25So He poured out on him the heat of His anger
         And the fierceness of battle;
         And it set him aflame all around,
         Yet he did not recognize it;
         And it burned him, but he paid no attention.
