Thou heardest

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

Yahweh, [though] your hand reaches high, they do not see [it]. Let them see, and let them be ashamed of [the] zeal of people. Indeed, let the fire of your enemies consume them.

For Yahweh has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and he has shut your eyes, the prophets, and he has covered your heads, the seers.

Who [is] blind but my servant or deaf like my messenger [whom] I sent? Who [is] blind like the one who is repaid or blind like the servant of Yahweh?

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

For this [reason] I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand,

For this [reason] they were not able to believe, because again Isaiah said,

Thine ear

The Lord Yahweh has opened an ear for me, and I, I was not rebellious. I did not turn backwards;

A sacrifice and offering you do not desire. {My ears you have opened}. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not demanded.

O Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know [me].

To whom shall I speak and admonish, that they may hear? Look, their ears [are] {closed}, and they are not able to listen attentively. Look, the word of Yahweh is to them an object of scorn, they do not delight in it.

I knew

because {I know} that you [are] obstinate, and your neck an iron sinew, and your forehead bronze.

A hard revelation is told to me; the treacherous deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, Elam; lay siege, Media! I put an end to all of her sighing.

And I thought, 'After her doing all these [things] to me she will return,' but she did not return. And her treacherous sister Judah saw [it].

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt utterly treacherously with me," {declares} Yahweh.

They have dealt faithlessly with Yahweh because they have borne illegitimate children. Now [the] new moon will devour them with their fields.

But like Adam, they transgressed [the] covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me.

Judah has been faithless, and a detestable thing has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem. Judah has profaned the sanctuary of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

A transgressor

Remember, {do not forget}, that you provoked Yahweh your God in the desert, [and] from the day that you went out from the land of Egypt until {you came to this place} you were rebelling against Yahweh.

Behold, in iniquity I was born, and in sin my mother conceived me.

The wicked are estranged from [the] womb. They go astray from [the] belly, speaking lies.

and you must say, 'Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth [were] from the land of the Canaanites, your father [was] an Amorite, and your mother [was] a Hittite.

among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the mind, and we were children of wrath by nature, as also the rest of [them] were.
