If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell?
The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both.
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see?
(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he said, “Come, let us go to the seer,” for today's “prophet” was formerly called a seer.)
