They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
The mouths that do not speak and the eyes that do not see picture a spiritual condition in which people have ears and eyes yet do not truly hear or see. It is the state of those who refuse to listen to warning and refuse to consider what is shown to them. It rests especially upon men in positions of trust who have the evidence of God's work set before them and still fail to discern it, because they are spiritually blind and deaf. The heart closed in this way is opened to behold the wonders of God's law by contemplating the cross of Calvary and the plan of redemption.
