Isaiah 6:10

10 ^aMake the heart of this people ^bdull, ^{▼▼Hebrew fat}
and their ears heavy,
and blind their eyes;
^dlest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”

Matthew 13:14-16

14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:

^e“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
15 For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears ^fthey can barely hear,
and ^gtheir eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and ^hunderstand with their heart
and ⁱturn, and I would heal them.’
16 But ^jblessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.
