Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.	The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make [it] honourable.	But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
