He feedethª° on ashes:ª a deceivedª° heartª hath turned him aside,ª° that he cannot¹ deliverª°¹ his soul,ª nor¹ say,ª° [Is there] not¹ a lieª in my right hand?ª" {Isa 44:18-20} + "Andª inª themª is fulfilledª° the¹ prophecyª of Esaias,ª which² saith,ª° By hearingª ye shall hear,ª° andª shall²° notª understand;ª° andª seeingª° ye shall see,ª° andª shall²° notª perceive:ª° ... Forª thisª people'sª heart²¹ is waxed gross,ª° andª [their] earsª are dull² of hearing,ª°¹ andª their²¹ eyesª they have closed;ª° lest at any timeª they should seeª° with [their] eyes,²¹ andª hearª° with [their] ears,ª andª should understandª° with [their] heart,ª andª should be converted,ª° andª I should healª° them.ª" {Mtt 13:14-15} + "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} + "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 12:40} + "Saying,ª° Goª° untoª thisª people,ª andª say,ª° Hearingª ye shall hear,ª° andª shall²° notª understand;ª° andª seeingª° ye shall see,ª° andª notª perceive:ª° ...
