19 Who is blind?
    Nobody is as blind as my servant.[a]
Who is deaf?
    Nobody is as deaf as the one who takes my message.
The people that I agreed a covenant with are blind!
    Yes, the servant of the Lord is truly blind!
20 You Israelites have seen many things,
    but you do not understand them.
You have opened your ears to listen,
    but you have not really heard anything.’

21 The Lord always does what is right. So he has made his law great and important. He is happy when people respect his law.
