‘Keep on ^(A)listening, but do not understand;
And keep on looking, but do not gain knowledge.’
^10 (B)Make the hearts of this people ^[a](C)insensitive,
Their ears ^[b]dull,
And their eyes ^[c]blind,
^(D)So that they will not see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed.”

‘^[b](A)You shall keep on listening, ^[c]but shall not understand;
And ^[d]you shall keep on looking, ^[e]but shall not perceive;

‘^(A)Go to this people and say,
“^[a](B)You will keep on hearing, and will not understand;
And ^[b]you will keep on seeing, and will not perceive;
^27 (C)For the hearts of this people have become ^[c]insensitive,
And with their ears they ^[d]hardly hear,
And they have closed their eyes;
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart and return,
And I would heal them.”’

“^(A)God gave them a spirit of stupor,
Eyes to see not and ears to hear not,
Down to this very day.”
