Are you blind and deaf? Don’t you remember?
Let their vision become clouded so that they cannot see. Let their thighs continually shake.
They don’t know or understand anything. Their eyes are plastered shut, so they can’t see. And their minds are closed, so they can’t understand.
Hear this, you stupid and senseless people! You have eyes, but you cannot see. You have ears, but you cannot hear.
“Son of man, you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes, but they can’t see. They have ears, but they can’t hear because they are rebellious people.
‘They see clearly but don’t perceive. They hear clearly but don’t understand. They never return to me and are never forgiven.’ ”
“God blinded them and made them close-minded so that their eyes don’t see and their minds don’t understand. And they never turn to me for healing!”
as Scripture says, “To this day God has given them a spirit of deep sleep. Their eyes don’t see, and their ears don’t hear!”
But to this day the Lord hasn’t given you a mind that understands, eyes that see, or ears that hear.
Don’t you remember that I told you about these things when I was still with you?
Therefore, I will always remind you about these qualities, although you already know about them and are well-grounded in the truth that you now have.
