Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
They know not, neither do they consider: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not, which have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house.
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD they say of me, Is he not a speaker of parables?
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
according as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this very day.
