‘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.”

²¹ For the Lord will rise up as at Mount ^(A)Perazim,
He will be stirred up as in the Valley of ^(B)Gibeon,
To do His ^(C)task, His ^[a](D)unusual task,
And to work His work, His ^[b]extraordinary work.

⁷ Both your own ^(A)wrongdoings and the wrongdoings of your fathers together,” says the Lord.
“Because they have ^(B)burned incense on the mountains
And ^(C)scorned Me on the hills,
Therefore I will ^(D)measure their former work ^[a]into their laps.”
