Amplified Bible
Matthew 13:14-16
Amplified Bible
14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says,
‘You will hear and keep on hearing, but never understand;
And you will look and keep on looking, but never comprehend;
15
For this nation’s heart has grown hard,
And with their ears they hardly hear,
And they have [tightly] closed their eyes,
Otherwise they would see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart, and turn [to Me]
And I would heal them [spiritually].’(A)
16 But blessed [spiritually aware, and favored by God] are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.(B)

“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a](B)
