For Jehovah has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes; He has covered the prophets and your heads, the seers.

Yet Jehovah has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day.

And He said, Go, and tell this people, You listen to hear, but do not understand; you look to see, but do not perceive.

Now hear this, O foolish people, without understanding; who have eyes and see not; who have ears and hear not.

Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.

And He said to them, To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things are in parables,

so that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand; lest they should convert, and their sins be forgiven them.

And He said, To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

saying, Go to this people and say: Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you will see, and not perceive;

To this day they continue doing according to the former manner; they do not fear Jehovah, nor do they follow their statutes or their ordinances, or the Law and commandments which Jehovah has commanded the sons of Jacob, whom He had ordained with the name, Israel;

Thus these nations feared Jehovah, while also serving their graven images. And their children and their children's children have continued doing as their fathers have done, even to this day.

But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Covenant, which is being done away in Christ.

But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
