(A)“‘“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 hear with their ears
and (D)understand with their heart
and (E)turn, and I would heal them.’

Isaiah 44:18-20
English Standard Version
18 They know not, nor do they discern, for he has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, and their hearts, so that they cannot understand. 19 No one considers, nor is there knowledge or discernment to say, “Half of it I burned in the fire; I also baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and have eaten. And shall I make the rest of it an (A)abomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?” 20 (B)He feeds on (C)ashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not (D)a lie in my right hand?”

English Standard Version
A Rebellious People
8 And now, go, (A)write it before them on a tablet
and inscribe it in a book,
that it may be for the time to come
as a witness forever.[a]
9 (B)For they are a rebellious people,
lying children,
children unwilling to hear
the instruction of the Lord;
10 (C)who say to (D)the seers, “Do not see,”
and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right;
speak to us (E)smooth things,
prophesy illusions,
11 leave the way, turn aside from the path,
let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”
