Isaiah 6:9-10

9 He said, ‘Go and tell this people:

‘“Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.”
10 Make the heart of this people calloused;
make their ears dull
and close their eyes. ^{▼▼Hebrew; Septuagint ‘“You will be ever hearing, but never understanding; / you will be ever seeing, but never perceiving.” / 10This people’s heart has become calloused; / they hardly hear with their ears, / and they have closed their eyes}
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.’
