Matthew 13

14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says,

‘You will hearandkeep on hearing, but never understand;

And you will lookandkeep on looking, but never comprehend;

15 For this nation’s heart has grown hard,

And with their ears they hardly hear,

And they have [tightly] closed their eyes,

Otherwise they would see with their eyes,

And hear with their ears,

And understand with their heart, and turn [to Me]

And I would heal them [spiritually].’ [Is 6:9]

16 But blessed [spiritually aware, and favored by God] are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. [Luke 10:23, 24]
