9 And he said, “Go, and say to this people:
d“‘Keep on hearing,1 but do not understand;
keep on seeing,2 but do not perceive.’
10 eMake the heart of this people fdull,3
and their ears heavy,
and blind their eyes;
glest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”
13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because bseeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, cnor do they understand.
