To whom should I speak and testify, that they may hear? Look, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can’t listen. Indeed, the word of YHWH has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of YHWH are right, and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.
for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, Otherwise they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’
