39 Therefore they (A)could not believe. For again Isaiah said,

40 (B)“He has blinded their eyes
    and (C)hardened their heart,

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.’

And as for your birth, (C)on the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to cleanse you, nor rubbed with salt, nor wrapped in swaddling cloths. No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you out of compassion for you, (D)but you were cast out on the open field, for you were abhorred, (E)on the day that you were born.

(B)Behold, their ears are uncircumcised,
    (C)they cannot listen;
behold, (D)the word of the Lord is to them an object of scorn;
    they take no pleasure in it.

And I thought, ‘After she has done all this she will return to me,’ but she did not return, and her treacherous (A)sister Judah saw it. She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, (B)I had sent her away with (C)a decree of divorce. (D)Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went (E)and played the whore. Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with (F)stone and tree. 10 Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me (G)with her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the Lord.”
