That seeing

But Yahweh has not given to you a heart to understand, or eyes to see, or ears to hear, [even] {to this day}.

And he said, "Go and say to this people, 'Keep on listening and do not comprehend! And keep on looking and do not understand!'

They do not know, and they do not understand, for their eyes [are] besmeared {so that they cannot see}, their {minds} {so that they have no insight}.

Hear this please, foolish and {senseless} people, {who have eyes} but do not see, {who have ears} but do not hear.'

and with reference to them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says, "{You will listen carefully} and will never understand, and {you will look closely} and will never perceive.

And he said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest [they are] in parables, so that 'Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'

But as many signs [as] he had performed before them, they did not believe in him,

So being in disagreement with one another, they began to leave [after] Paul made one statement: "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through the prophet Isaiah to your fathers,

just as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear, until this very day."

Be converted

Indeed I heard Ephraim pitying themselves, 'You disciplined me, and I was disciplined, like a calf that is not trained. Bring me back and let me return, for you [are] Yahweh my God.

And when the wicked turns from his wickedness that he did and he does justice and righteousness, {he will preserve his life}.

Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be blotted out,

correcting those who are opposed with gentleness, [seeing] whether perhaps God may grant them repentance to a knowledge of the truth,

and having fallen away, to renew [them] again to repentance, [because they] have crucified again for themselves the Son of God and held him up to contempt.
