Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not; nor do they understand.
They have not known nor understood; for He has shut their eyes so that they cannot see; and their hearts so that they cannot understand.
Now hear this, O foolish people and without heart; who have eyes and see not; who have ears and hear not;
Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see and see not. They have ears to hear and hear not, for they are a rebellious house.
And I said, Ah Lord Jehovah! They say of me, Does he not speak parables?
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
even as it is written, "God gave to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not seeing, and ears not hearing" until this day.
