Isaiah 6:8-10
Common English Bible
8 Then I heard the Lord’s voice saying, “Whom should I send, and who will go for us?”
I said, “I’m here; send me.”
9 God said, “Go and say to this people:
Listen intently, but don’t understand;
look carefully, but don’t comprehend.
10 Make the minds of this people dull.
Make their ears deaf and their eyes blind,
so they can’t see with their eyes
or hear with their ears,
or understand with their minds,
and turn, and be healed.”

“‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’(F)
10 Make the heart of this people calloused;(G)
make their ears dull
and close their eyes.[a](H)

understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”(J)
