Isaiah 6

9 And he replied:

Go! Say to these people:

Keep listening, but do not understand;  * 6:9–10 Mt 13:14–15; Mk 4:12; Lk 8:10; Jn 12:40; Ac 28:26–27

keep looking, but do not perceive.

10 Make the minds  * 6:10 Lit heart of these people dull;

deafen their ears and blind their eyes;

otherwise they might see with their eyes

and hear with their ears,

understand with their minds,

turn back, and be healed.  * 6:10 Zch 7:11–12; 1Th 2:16
