Isaiah 6:9-11
New King James Version
9 And He said, “Go, and (A)tell this people:
‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
10 “Make (B)the heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
(C)Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”
11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?”
And He answered:
(D)“Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant,
The houses are without a man,
The land is utterly desolate,

and close their eyes.[a](D)

hear with their ears,(E)
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”(F)
