Israel Refused to Listen to God

18 “Deaf people, listen to me!
    Blind people, look and see!
19 In all the world, no one is more blind than my servant.[a]
    No one is more deaf than my messenger.
No one is more blind than my chosen people,
    the servant of the Lord.
20 My people see what they should do,
    but they do not obey me.
They can hear with their ears,
    but they refuse to listen to me.”
