- the prophecy:
- "And he said,ª° Go,²°¹ and tellª° this¹ people,ª Hear²° ye indeed,ª° but understandª° not;¹ and see²° ye indeed,ª° but perceiveª° not.¹ ... Make the heartª of this¹ peopleª fat,²°¹ and make their earsª heavy,ª° and shutª° their eyes;ª lest¹ they seeª° with their eyes,ª and hearª° with their ears,ª and understandª° with their heart,ª and convert,ª° and be healed.ª°" {Isa 6:9-10} + "Sonª of man,ª thou¹ dwellestª° in the midstª of a rebelliousª house,ª which¹ have eyesª to see,ª° and seeª° not;¹ they have earsª to hear,ª° and hearª° not:¹ for¹ they¹ [are] a rebelliousª house.ª" {Ezk 12:2} + "Thatª seeingª° they may see,ª° andª notª perceive;ª° andª hearingª° they may hear,ª° andª notª understand;ª° lest at any timeª they should be converted,ª° andª [their] sinsª should be forgivenª° them.ª" {Mrk 4:12} + "Andª he¹ said,ª° Unto youª it is givenª° to knowª° the¹ mysteriesª of the¹ kingdomª of God:ª butª to othersª inª parables;ª thatª seeingª° they might²° notª see,ª° andª hearingª° they might²° notª understand.ª°" {Lke 8:10} + "Thereforeªª they couldª° notª believe,ª° becauseª that Esaiasª saidª° again,ª ... He hath blindedª° theirª eyes,ª andª hardenedª° theirª heart;ª that²°¹ they should²° not²¹ seeª° with [their] eyes,ª norª understandª° with [their] heart,ª andª be converted,ª° andª I should healª° them.ª" {Jhn 12:39-40} + "Andª when they agreed notªª° amongª themselves,ª they departed,ª° after that Paulª had spokenª° oneª word,ª² Wellª spakeª° the¹ Holyª Ghostª byª Esaiasª the¹ prophetª untoª ourª fathers,ª ... Forª the¹ heartª of thisª peopleª is waxed gross,ª° andª their earsª are dull² of hearing,ª°¹ andª their²¹ eyesª have they closed;ª° lestª they should seeª° with [their] eyes,ª andª hearª° with [their] ears,ª andª understandª° with [their] heart,ª andª should be converted,ª° andª I should healª° them.ª" {Act 28:25-27} + "(According asª it is written,ª° Godª hath givenª° themª the spiritª of slumber,ª eyesª that they should²° notª see,ª° andª earsª that they should²° notª hear;)ª° untoª thisª day.ª ... Let²° their²¹ eyesª be darkened,ª° that they may²° notª see,ª° andª bow downª° their²¹ backª alway.ª" {Rom 11:8-10} + "Butª theirª mindsª were blinded:ª° forª untilª this dayª remainethª° the¹ sameª vailª untaken² awayª°¹ inª the¹ readingª of the¹ oldª testament;ª whichª [vail] is done awayª° inª Christ.ª" {2Co 3:14}
