Lexicon :: Strong's H5787 - ʿiûēr

‘Cursed is he who misleads a blind person on the road.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Now the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, “You shall not enter here, for the blind and the lame [even the weakest among us] will turn you away”; they thought, “David cannot come in here [because the walls are impenetrable].”

“I was eyes to the blind

And I was feet to the lame.

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind;

The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down;

The LORD loves the [fn]righteous [the upright in heart].

On that day the deaf will hear the words of a book,

And out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see [the words of the book].

Then the eyes of the blind will be opened

And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.

To open the eyes of the blind,

To bring out prisoners from the dungeon

And those who sit in darkness from the prison.

“I will lead the blind by a way they do not know;

I will guide them in paths that they do not know.

I will make darkness into light before them

And rugged places into plains.

These things I will do [for them],

And I will not leave them abandoned or undone.”

Hear, you deaf!

And look, you blind, that you may see.

Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes,

And the deaf, even though they have ears.

Israel’s watchmen are blind,

They are all without knowledge.

They are all mute dogs, they cannot bark;

Panting, lying down, they love to slumber.

We grope for a wall like the blind,

We grope like those who have no eyes.

We stumble at midday as in the twilight;

Among those who are healthy we are like dead men.

“Behold, I am bringing them from the north country,

And I will gather them from the remote parts of the earth,

Among them [will be] the blind and the lame,

The woman with child and she who labors in childbirth, together;

A great company, they will return here [to Jerusalem].

They wandered, blind, in the streets;

They were defiled with blood

So that no one could touch their garments.

I will bring distress on men

So that they will walk like the blind [unable to find a way of escape],

Because they have sinned against the LORD;

Their blood will be poured out like dust [and trampled underfoot],

And their flesh like dung.
