13 This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: "'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15 For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' [1]

13 על כן במשלים אדבר אליהם כי בראתם לא יראו ובשמעם לא ישמעו אף לא יבינו׃

14 ותקים בהם נבואת ישעיהו האמרת שמעו שמוע ואל תבינו וראו ראו ואל תדעו׃

15 כי השמן לב העם הזה ואזניו הכבד ועיניו השע פן יראה בעיניו ובאזניו ישמע ולבבו יבין ושב ורפא לו׃
