For this people's heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their heart, And would turn again, And I would heal them.'

For the heart of this people has been thickened, and with ears they have hardly heard, and they have shut their eyes, lest they might see with eyes, and they might hear with ears, and they might understand with heart and turn back, and I would heal them.’
