^26 (A)“‘Go to this people, and say,
^(B)“You will indeed hear but never understand,
    and you will indeed see but never perceive.”

^(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.”

^(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.”

^(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.’

^40 (A)“He has blinded their eyes
    and ^(B)hardened their heart,
lest they see with their eyes,
    and understand with their heart, and turn,
    and I would heal them.”

²² “For ^(A)my people are foolish;
    they know me not;
they are stupid children;
    they have no understanding.
^(B)They are ‘wise’—in doing evil!
    But how to do good they know not.”
