Thou heardest

He said, “Go, and tell this people:
‘Keep on listening, but do not perceive;
Keep on looking, but do not understand.’

O Lord, Your hand is lifted up yet they do not see it.

They see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame;

Indeed,

fire will devour Your enemies.

For the Lord has poured over you a spirit of deep sleep,
He has shut your eyes, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads, the seers.

Who is blind but My servant,
Or so deaf as My messenger whom I send?
Who is so blind as he that is

at peace with Me,

Or so blind as the servant of the Lord?

‘Now hear this, O foolish and senseless people,
Who have eyes but do not see;
Who have ears but do not hear.

Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,

Thine ear

The Lord God has opened My ear;
And I was not disobedient
Nor did I turn back.

Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired;

My ears You have opened;
Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

To whom shall I speak and give warning
That they may hear?
Behold, their ears are closed
And they cannot listen.
Behold, the word of the Lord has become a reproach to them;
They have no delight in it.

I knew

“Because I know that you are

obstinate,

And your neck is an iron sinew
And your forehead bronze,

A harsh vision has been shown to me;
The treacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys.
Go up, Elam, lay siege, Media;
I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused.

I thought, ‘After she has done all these things she will return to Me’; but she did not return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

“For the house of Israel and the house of Judah
Have dealt very treacherously with Me,” declares the Lord.

They have dealt treacherously against the Lord,
For they have borne

illegitimate children.

Now the new moon will devour them with their land.

But like Adam they have transgressed the covenant;
There they have dealt treacherously against Me.

Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the sanctuary of the Lord

which He loves and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

A transgressor

Remember, do not forget how you provoked the Lord your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day that you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the Lord.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.

The wicked are estranged from the womb;
These who speak lies go astray from birth.

and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem, “Your origin and your birth are from the land of the Canaanite, your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
