“Whom shall I send,
And who will go for aUs?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
bLest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”
a“Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant,
The houses are without a man,
The land is utterly desolate,
And will return and be for consuming,
As a terebinth tree or as an oak,
Whose stump remains when it is cut down.
So athe holy seed shall be its stump.”

Isaiah 6:10
Fat - Stupid and senseless. This making of their hearts fat, is here ascribed to the prophet, as it is ascribed to God in the repetition of this prophecy, John 12:40, because God inflicted this judgment upon them by the ministry of the prophet, partly by way of prediction, foretelling that this would be the effect of his preaching; and partly by withdrawing the light and help of his Spirit. Heavy - Make them dull of hearing. Lest - That they may not be able, as before they were not willing to see. Convert - Turn to God.
