¹² Ears to hear and eyes to see—
    both are gifts from the Lord.

For they look, but they don’t really see.
    They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand.

‘When you hear what I say,
    you will not understand.
When you see what I do,
    you will not comprehend.
¹⁵ For the hearts of these people are hardened,
    and their ears cannot hear,
and they have closed their eyes—
    so their eyes cannot see,
and their ears cannot hear,
    and their hearts cannot understand,
and they cannot turn to me
    and let me heal them.’^[a]

⁹ Is he deaf—the one who made your ears?
    Is he blind—the one who formed your eyes?
