  • “We would here, as if all nations on the earth were present, make one speech, and pour into the ears of them all, words which should be heard in common: Why, pray, is this, O men! that of your own accord you cheat and deceive yourselves by voluntary blindness?” — editor's note: [Isa. xl. 18–20; xliv. 9–20; xlvi. 5–8.]
