Isaiah 6:9-10
English Standard Version
9 And he said, “Go, and say to this people:
(A)“‘Keep on hearing,[a] but do not understand;
keep on seeing,[b] but do not perceive.’
10 (B)Make the heart of this people (C)dull,[c]
and their ears heavy,
and blind their eyes;
(D)lest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”

English Standard Version
8 as it is written,
(A)“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
(B)eyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”
Matthew 13:13-15
English Standard Version
13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because (A)seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, (B)nor do they understand. 14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:
(C)“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
15 For this people's heart has grown dull,
and with their ears (D)they can barely hear,
and (E)their eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and (F)understand with their heart
and (G)turn, and I would heal them.’
