Isaiah
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped is found where?
Isaiah 35: Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
Who is Isaiah
Isaiah's awareness of the holiness of God made him aware of his own sinfulness and the sinfulness of his people (6:5). Isaiah viewed the inner, religious dimension and the outer, social dimension of sin as integrally related, and he made it his life's work to turn his people away from their sinfulness. A paradigmatic portrayal of sin is found in the person of King Ahaz (ch. 7) and his refusal to trust God. Rather, he called on Assyria, which reduced Judah to a vassal state.It is instructive that Isaiah saw the Lord "seated on a throne." He saw God as the King of kings. It soon became apparent to Isaiah that no human king would be able or worthy to govern his people properly. God would have to fulfill that role by providing a divine/human king; and anointed one, a Messiah. Isaiah's predictions of such a king are found in 9:2-7 and 11:1-16, which became increasingly influential not only throughout the book of Isaiah (32:1-20; 61:1-11), but through subsequent OT history. They came to fruition in the person of Jesus of Nazareth.

Jeremiah was still a young man when the spirit of prophecy came upon him. He was fearful to accept such a responsibility, declaring, "I am still a boy!" But G-d said to him, "Say not, 'I am a boy,' for you shall go to all that I shall send you, and whatever I command you you shall speak. Be not afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you" (Jeremiah 1:6-8). From that moment, Jeremiah lost all fear and delivered his sad prophecies and warnings without regard for the king and his strong men, often at the very peril of his life.One of Jeremiah's first missions was to go to the exiled Ten Tribes of Israel, whose kingdom in the north had been destroyed by the Assyrians less than a century previously (in the year 3205). Jeremiah brought them courage and hope and induced many of them to return to their native land.The prophet also taught that it is no use relying on man, for in doing so one denies G-d; only trust in G-d is certain to be rewarded: Thus says G-d: Cursed is the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm (power), and whose heart departs from G-d. For he shall be like a tamarisk in the desert, and shall not see when good comes... Blessed is the man that trusts in G-d...for he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the river, that shall not see when heat comes, but its foliage shall be luxurious; and shall not be anxious in the year of drought, neither shall it cease from yielding fruit. (Jeremiah 17:5-8)
