‘Listen continually, but don’t understand!
Look continually, but don’t perceive!’
6:10 Make the hearts of these people calloused;
make their ears deaf and their eyes blind!
Otherwise they might see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
their hearts might understand and they might repent and be healed.” 2
56:10 All their watchmen 3 are blind,
they are unaware. 4
All of them are like mute dogs,
unable to bark.
They pant, 5 lie down,
and love to snooze.

4:14 They 6 wander blindly 7 through the streets,
defiled by the blood they shed, 8
while no one dares 9
to touch their garments.
1:17 I will bring distress on the people 10
and they will stumble 11 like blind men,
for they have sinned against the Lord.
Their blood will be poured out like dirt;
their flesh 12 will be scattered 13 like manure.
