²⁷ For the heart (the understanding, the soul) of this people has grown dull (stupid, hardened, and calloused), and their ears are heavy and hard of hearing and they have shut tight their eyes, so that they may not perceive and have knowledge and become acquainted with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their souls and turn [to Me and be converted], that I may heal them. [Isa. 6:9, 10.]

American Standard Version (1901)

Common English Bible

²⁷ “This people’s senses have become calloused,” “and they’ve become hard of hearing,” “and they’ve shut their eyes” “so that they won’t see with their eyes” “or hear with their ears” “or understand with their minds,” “and change their hearts and lives that I may heal them.”

Catholic Public Domain Version

²⁷ For the heart of this people has grown dull, and they have listened with reluctant ears, and they have closed their eyes tightly, lest perhaps they might see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and so be converted, and I would heal them.'
