14 Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says:

You will listen and listen,

but never understand;

you will look and look,

but never perceive.* 13:14 Is 6:9; Mk 4:12; Lk 8:10; Jn 12:40; Ac 28:26–27; Rm 11:8

15 For this people’s heart has grown callous;

their ears are hard of hearing,

and they have shut their eyes;

otherwise they might see with their eyes,

and hear with their ears, and

understand with their hearts,

and turn back —

and I would heal them.* 13:14–15 Is 6:9–10,* 13:15 Is 6:10; Mt 15:8; Heb 5:11

16 "Blessed are your eyes* 13:16–17 Lk 10:23–24because they do see, and your ears because they do hear.* 13:16 Mt 16:17; Jn 20:29
