‘You will hear again and again,

But you will not understand;

You will see again and again,

But you will not get any knowledge.’+

10 Make the heart of this people unreceptive,+

Make their ears unresponsive,+

And paste their eyes together,

So that they may not see with their eyes

And hear with their ears,

So that their heart may not understand

And they may not turn back and be healed.”+

 8 Bring out a people who are blind, though they have eyes,

And who are deaf, though they have ears.+
