‘Go to this people and say,
“You will keep on hearing, 27 but will never understand,
and you will keep on looking, 28 but will never perceive.
28:27 For the heart of this people has become dull, 29
and their ears are hard of hearing, 30
and they have closed their eyes,
so that they would not see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and turn, 31 and I would heal them.”’ 32
