9 And he said, “Go, and say to this people:

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

and ⁱhardened their heart,
lest they see with their eyes,
and understand with their heart, and turn,
and I would heal them.”

26 ^j“‘Go to this people, and say,
^k“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
27 ^lFor this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and ^mturn, and I would heal them.’

Romans 11:8

8 as it is written,

ⁿ“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
^oeyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”
