- thou heardest:
- "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} + "LORD,ª [when] thy handª is lifted up,²°¹ they will not¹ see:ª° [but] they shall see,ª° and be ashamedª° for [their] envyª at the people;ª yea,¹ the fireª of thine enemiesª shall devourª° them." {Isa 26:11} + "For¹ the LORDª hath poured outª° upon¹ you the spiritª of deep sleep,ª and hath closedª°¹ your eyes:ª¹ the prophetsª and your rulers,ª the seersª hath he covered.ª° ... And the visionª of all¹ is become¹ unto you as the wordsª of a bookª that is sealed,ª° which¹ [men] deliverª° to¹ one that is learned,ª°¹ saying,ª° Readª° this,¹ I pray thee:¹ and he saith,ª° I cannot;ª°¹ for¹ it¹ [is] sealed:ª°" {Isa 29:10-11} + "Who¹ [is] blind,ª but¹¹ my servant?ª or deaf,ª as my messengerª [that] I sent?ª° who¹ [is] blindª as [he that is] perfect,ª° and blindª as the LORD'Sª servant?ª ... Seeingª°°° many things,ª but thou observestª° not;¹ openingª° the ears,ª but he hearethª° not.¹" {Isa 42:19-20} + "Hearª° now¹ this,¹ O foolishª people,ª and without¹ understanding;ª which have eyes,ª and seeª° not;¹ which have ears,ª and hearª° not:¹" {Jer 5:21} + "Thereforeªª speak¹ I²° to themª inª parables:ª becauseª they seeingª° seeª° not;ª andª hearingª° they hearª° not,ª neitherª do they understand.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 13:13-15} + "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}
