Who will be abased?
Those with dull minds, blocked ears, and blind eyes:
Make the mind of this people dull,
and stop their ears,
and shut their eyes,
so that they may not look with their eyes,
and listen with their ears,
and comprehend with their minds,
and turn and be healed. (Isaiah 6:10, NRSV)
Who will be exalted?
Those whose conduct is righteous,
whose speech is honest,
who scorn what is gained by oppression,
who shake their hands free of a bribe,
who stop their ears from hearing murderous plans
and close their eyes so as not to look on evil. (Isaiah 33:15, Anchor Bible)
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Matthew 6:21)
