‘Go to this people and say,

“You will keep on hearing, ³  but will never understand,

and you will keep on looking, ⁴  but will never perceive.

28:27 For the heart of this people has become dull, ⁵ 

and their ears are hard of hearing, ⁶ 

and they have closed their eyes,

so that they would not see with their eyes

and hear with their ears

and understand with their heart

and turn, ⁷  and I would heal them.”’ ⁸ 

28:28 “Therefore be advised ⁹  that this salvation from God ¹⁰  has been sent to the Gentiles; ¹¹  they ¹²  will listen!”
