15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears aare hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have bclosed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I1 should cheal them.’
Their ears aare hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have bclosed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I1 should cheal them.’
17 for assuredly, I say to you athat many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
