Isaiah 42:21 in Context — Isaiah 42
19 ¿Quién ciego, sino mi siervo? ¿quién sordo, como mi mensajero que envié? ¿quién ciego como el perfecto, y ciego como el siervo de Jehová,
20 Que ve muchas cosas y no advierte, que abre los oídos y no oye?
21 Jehová se complació por amor de su justicia en magnificar la ley y engrandecerla.
22 Mas este es pueblo saqueado y hollado, todos ellos enlazados en cavernas y escondidos en cárceles: son puestos á saco, y no [hay] quien libre; hollados, y no [hay] quien diga, Restituid.
23 ¿Quién de vosotros oirá esto? ¿quién atenderá y escuchará en orden al porvernir?
