You will be shocked and amazed! You are totally blind! They are drunk, but not because of wine; they stagger, but not because of beer.

When worries threaten to overwhelm me, your soothing touch makes me happy.

I find delight in your statutes; I do not forget your instructions.

I will find delight in your commands, which I love.

Their hearts are calloused, but I find delight in your law.

A baby will play over the hole of a snake; over the nest of a serpent an infant will put his hand.

Make the hearts of these people calloused; make their ears deaf and their eyes blind! Otherwise they might see with their eyes and hear with their ears, their hearts might understand and they might repent and be healed.”

For this is what the Lord says: “Look, I am ready to extend to her prosperity that will flow like a river, the riches of nations will flow into her like a stream that floods its banks. You will nurse from her breast and be carried at her side; you will play on her knees.
