“Those who followed the letter of the law were judged like the pagans who had not received the law. In fact, "seeing, they see not, and hearing, they hear not."”
Olympiodorus of Alexandria, 6th c. — FRAGMENTS ON BARUCH 3:22
Original

In context
21Nor understood the paths thereof, nor laid hold of it: their children were far off from that way.
22It hath not been heard of in Chanaan, neither hath it been seen in Theman.
— Baruch 3:23 —
24O Israel, how great is the house of God! and how large is the place of his possession!
25Great, and hath none end; high, and unmeasurable.
