God

Jehovah has made you drowsy. He shut your eyes in a deep sleep you prophets and visionaries. He overwhelmed your leaders.

Eyes

To this very day Jehovah has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, or ears to hear.

He said: Go and tell this people: 'Hear constantly but do not understand. See constantly but do not perceive.'

Hear this, you stupid and senseless people! You have eyes, but you cannot see. You have ears, but you cannot hear.'

Son of man, you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes, but they cannot see. They have ears, but they cannot hear because they are rebellious people.

He said, Go and say to this people, 'You will listen and listen, but not understand. You will look and look, but not see.

Unto this day

So to this day they go on in their old ways. They do not worship Jehovah. They do not keep his orders, his ways, or the law Jehovah gave to the children of Jacob. They are the ones he gave the name Israel.

Their minds were blinded. Until this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It is not revealed to them that Christ voided it.
