- That seeing:
- Rather, as ινα [Strong's G2443] frequently denotes, "So that seeing they see, and do not perceive, and hearing they hear, and do not understand," etc. The expression appears to be proverbial; and relates to those who might see what they now overlook through inattention and folly. See the parallel texts. "Yet the LORDª hath not¹ givenª° you an heartª to perceive,ª° and eyesª to see,ª° and earsª to hear,ª° unto¹ this¹ day.ª" {Deu 29:4} + "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} + "They have not¹ knownª° nor¹ understood:ª° for¹ he hath shutª° their eyes,ª that they cannot see;ª°¹ [and] their hearts,²¹ that they cannot understand.ª°¹" {Isa 44:18} + "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} + "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} + "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} + "Butª though heª had doneª° so manyª miraclesª beforeª them,ª yet they believedª° notª onª him:ª ... These thingsª saidª° Esaias,ª whenª he sawª° hisª glory,ª andª spakeª° ofª him.ª" {Jhn 12:37-41} + "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}
