We are sinners, acting wrongly and doing evil; we have gone against you, turning away from your orders and from your laws:

You whose hearts are hard and whose ears are shut to me; you are ever working against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

And he said, Go, and say to this people, You will go on hearing, but learning nothing; you will go on seeing, but without getting wiser.

Be surprised and full of wonder; let your eyes be covered and be blind: be overcome, but not with wine; go with uncertain steps, but not because of strong drink.

Give ear now to this, O foolish people without sense; who have eyes but see nothing, and ears without the power of hearing:

For this reason I put things into the form of stories; because they see without seeing, and give ear without hearing, and the sense is not clear to them.

So that seeing they may see, and it will not be clear to them; and hearing it, they will not get the sense; for fear that they may be turned again to me and have forgiveness.

What then? That which Israel was searching for he did not get, but those of the selection got it and the rest were made hard.

But their minds were made hard: for to this very day at the reading of the old agreement the same veil is still unlifted; though it is taken away in Christ.

But if our good news is veiled, it is veiled from those who are on the way to destruction:

Whose thoughts are dark, to whom the life of God is strange because they are without knowledge, and their hearts have been made hard;

And with every deceit of wrongdoing among those whose fate is destruction; because they were quite without that love of the true faith by which they might have salvation.

For
