        “Keep listening, but do not comprehend;
    Keep looking, but do not understand.”[a]

    Understand with their hearts, and then turn and be healed.[b]

    and close their eyes.[a](D)
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
    hear with their ears,(E)
    understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”(F)
