so that,“‘ they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’”

叫他们看是看见，却不晓得；听是听见，却不明白；恐怕他们回转过来，就得赦免。”

要他们看了又看，却看不清，听了又听，却不明白，免得他们回转过来，获得赦免。”

要他们看了又看，却看不清，听了又听，却不明白，免得他们回转过来，获得赦免。”

使他们‘看了又看，却不领悟；听了又听，却不明白，免得他们回心转意，得到赦免。’”

叫他们‘看是看见了，却不领悟，听是听见了，却不明白，免得他们回转过来，得到赦免。’”

这是为要使‘他们看了又看，却不明白，听了又听，却不领悟，免得他们回转过来，就被赦免。’”

叫他們看是看見，卻不曉得；聽是聽見，卻不明白；恐怕他們回轉過來，就得赦免。」

要他們看了又看，卻看不清，聽了又聽，卻不明白，免得他們回轉過來，獲得赦免。」

要他們看了又看，卻看不清，聽了又聽，卻不明白，免得他們回轉過來，獲得赦免。」

使他們『看了又看，卻不領悟；聽了又聽，卻不明白，免得他們回心轉意，得到赦免。』」

叫他們‘看是看見了，卻不領悟，聽是聽見了，卻不明白，免得他們回轉過來，得到赦免。’”

使「他們看了又看，卻看不見；聽了又聽，卻不曉悟；免得他們回轉過來，而得赦免！」』

這是為要使『他們看了又看，卻不明白，聽了又聽，卻不領悟，免得他們回轉過來，就被赦免。』」

俾其視而不明、聽而不悟、恐其轉移而獲赦也、

故彼目視而不明、耳聞而不悟、不克遷改而得罪赦、

使其視而不明、聞而不悟、免其悔改、而罪得赦、

若輩蓋所謂視而不見、聽而不悟、惟恐其幡然回頭而見赦者耳。』

In that way,“‘ They will see but never know what they are seeing. They will hear but never understand. Otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’ ”( Isaiah 6:9, 10)

so that“‘ they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.’”

so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled:‘ When they see what I do, they will learn nothing. When they hear what I say, they will not understand. Otherwise, they will turn to me and be forgiven.’”

so that they may indeed look, and yet not perceive; they may indeed listen, and yet not understand; otherwise, they might turn back and be forgiven.”

so that while seeing they may see, and not perceive, and while hearing, they may hear, and not understand, otherwise they might return and it would be forgiven them.”

so that‘ seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.’”

that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them.

so that they may look and look, yet not perceive; they may listen and listen, yet not understand; otherwise, they might turn back— and be forgiven.”

That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and[ their] sins should be forgiven them.

so that although they look they may look but not see, and although they hear they may hear but not understand, so they may not repent and be forgiven.”

that‘ seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”

He said,“ Go and tell this people:“‘ Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”

They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand.

Hear this, you foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear:

In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:“‘ You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.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.’

But to this day the Lord has not given you a mind that understands or eyes that see or ears that hear.

Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him.This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:“ Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:“ He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn— and I would heal them.”Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him.

He said,“ The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,“‘ though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,

as it is written:“ God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”And David says:“ May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”

and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

“ Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people.

“ I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning:‘ You disciplined me like an unruly calf, and I have been disciplined. Restore me, and I will return, because you are the Lord my God.After I strayed, I repented; after I came to understand, I beat my breast. I was ashamed and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’Is not Ephraim my dear son, the child in whom I delight? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him,” declares the Lord.

They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement:“ The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your ancestors when he said through Isaiah the prophet:“‘ Go to this people and say,“ You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”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.’

But if a wicked person turns away from the wickedness they have committed and does what is just and right, they will save their life.Because they consider all the offenses they have committed and turn away from them, that person will surely live; they will not die.Yet the Israelites say,‘ The way of the Lord is not just.’ Are my ways unjust, people of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unjust?“ Therefore, you Israelites, I will judge each of you according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall.Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel?For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
