Isaiah 6:10
New King James Version
10 “Make (A)the heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
(B)Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”
Isaiah 29:10-13
New King James Version
10 For (A)the Lord has poured out on you
The spirit of deep sleep,
And has (B)closed your eyes, namely, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads, namely, (C)the seers.
11 The whole vision has become to you like the words of a [a]book (D)that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, “Read this, please.”
(E)And he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”
12 Then the book is delivered to one who [b]is illiterate, saying, “Read this, please.”
And he says, “I am not literate.”
13 Therefore the Lord said:
(F)“Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths
And honor Me (G)with their lips,
But have removed their hearts far from Me,
And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,
