Isaiah 42:20 in Context — Isaiah 42

18 Surdos, ouvi; e vós cegos, olhai para que possais ver.

19 Quem é cego, senão o meu servo? Ou surdo, como o meu mensageiro, a quem envio? Quem é cego como o aliançado, e cego como o servo do SENHOR?

20 Tu vês muitas coisas, porém não as guardas; mesmo abrindo os ouvidos, contudo nada ouve.

21 O SENHOR se agradou, por causa de sua justiça, em engrandecer [sua] lei, e em fazê [-la] gloriosa.

22 Mas [este] é um povo roubado e saqueado; todos estão enlaçados em covas, e escondidos em cárceres; são postos como despojos, e ninguém há que os resgate; estão como [objetos] de roubo, e ninguém diz “Restitui [-os] ”.
