who? blind that/for/because/then/when if servant_of,my and,deaf like,messenger_of,my send
Yahweh is using the question form to emphasize that his own servant is more blind and deaf than anyone else. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [No one is blind except my servant, and no one is deaf like my messenger whom I send]
