15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears (A)are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have (B)closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I [a]should (C)heal them.’

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.’[a](A)

Just as it is written:

(A)“God has given them a spirit of stupor,
(B)Eyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”

And David says:

(C)“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a recompense to them.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their back always.”
