Bible References

Hear ye

Bring out a people who are blind, yet have eyes,
and are deaf, yet have ears.

Such people do not comprehend
and cannot understand,
for He has shut their eyes so they cannot see,
and their minds so they cannot understand.

Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says:

You will listen and listen,
yet never understand;
and you will look and look,
yet never perceive.

so that

they may look and look,
yet not perceive;
they may listen and listen,
yet not understand;

otherwise, they might turn back—
and be forgiven.”

So He said, “The secrets of the kingdom of God have been given for you to know, but to the rest it is in parables, so that

Looking they may not see,
and hearing they may not understand.

He has blinded

their eyes

and hardened their hearts,

so that they would not see with their eyes
or understand with their hearts,
and be converted,

and I would heal them.

when He said,

Go to these people and say:
You will listen and listen,
yet never understand;
and you will look and look,
yet never perceive.

as it is written:

God gave them a spirit of insensitivity,

eyes that cannot see
and ears that cannot hear,
to this day.
