14 What these people do completely fulfills what God told the prophet Isaiah to say long ago to the people who did not try to understand what he said,

You will hear what I say, but you will not understand it. You will keep seeing what I do, but you will not understand what it means [DOU].

15 God also said to Isaiah,

These people have become unresponsive [MTY] to what they see me do and to what they hear me say. They listen unwillingly [MTY] to what I say, and they do not pay attention to [MTY] what I do. If it were not so, they would perceive [MTY] what I am doing, they would understand [MTY] what I say to them, and they would turn away from their sinful lives and turn to me, and I would save them from being punished for their sins [MET].
