71 Days of Isaiah Plan

¹⁸“Listen, you deaf! Look, you blind, so that you may see.

¹⁹Who is blind but my servant, or deaf like my messenger I am sending? Who is blind like my dedicated one, or blind like the servant of the LORD?

²⁰Though seeing many things, you pay no attention. Though his ears are open, he does not listen.”

²¹Because of his righteousness, the LORD was pleased to magnify his instruction and make it glorious.

²²But this is a people plundered and looted, all of them trapped in holes or imprisoned in dungeons. They have become plunder with no one to rescue them and loot, with no one saying, “Give it back!”

²³Who among you will hear this? Let him listen and obey in the future.

²⁴Who gave Jacob to the robber, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it not the LORD? Have we not sinned against him? They were not willing to walk in his ways, and they would not listen to his instruction.

²⁵So he poured out his furious anger and the power of war on Jacob. It surrounded him with fire, but he did not know it; it burned him, but he didn’t take it to heart.
