‘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.”

^18 (A)They do not know nor understand;
For ^(B)He has ^[a]shut their eyes, so that they cannot see,
And their hearts, so that they cannot ^(C)understand.
¹⁹ And no one ^(D)considers in his heart,
Nor is there knowledge nor understanding to say,
“I have burned half of it in the fire,
Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals;
I have roasted meat and eaten it;
And shall I make the rest of it an abomination?
Shall I fall down before a block of wood?”
²⁰ He feeds on ashes;
^(E)A deceived heart has turned him aside;
And he cannot deliver his soul,
Nor say, “Is there not a ^(F)lie in my right hand?”
