‘Go and say to this people:
You will listen and listen, but not understand;
    you will look and look, but not see,
27 because this people's minds are dull,
    and they have stopped up their ears
    and closed their eyes.
Otherwise, their eyes would see,
    their ears would hear,
    their minds would understand,
and they would turn to me, says God,
    and I would heal them.’”

“You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
    you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”

    and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
    hear with their ears,
    understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a](C)
