Isaiah’s Commission from the Lord

8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for ^eus?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” 9 And he said, “Go, and say to this people:

^f“‘Keep on hearing, ^{▼▼Or Hear indeed} but do not understand;
keep on seeing, ^{▼▼Or see indeed} but do not perceive.’
10 ⁱMake the heart of this people ^jdull, ^{▼▼Hebrew fat}
and their ears heavy,
and blind their eyes;
^llest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”

4 And he said to me, ^at“Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with my words to them. 5 For you are not sent to a people of foreign speech and a hard language, but to the house of Israel— 6 not to many peoples of foreign speech and a hard language, whose words you cannot understand. ^auSurely, if I sent you to such, they would listen to you. 7 ^avBut the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me: because all the house of Israel ^awhave a hard forehead and a stubborn heart. 8 ^axBehold, I have made your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.
