26 ‘Go to this people and say:
You will ·listen and listen [or certainly listen], but you will not understand.
    You will ·look and look [or certainly look], but you will not ·learn [perceive],
27 because [L the heart of] these people have become ·stubborn [dull].
    They ·don’t hear with their ears [or hardly hear with their ears; are hard of hearing],
    and they have closed their eyes.
    Otherwise, they might see with their eyes
    and hear with their ears.
They might really understand in their ·minds [hearts]
    and come back to me and ·be healed [L I would heal them; Is. 6:9–10].’

26 “‘Go to this people and say,
“You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
    you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”

    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](B)
