26 saying,

‘Go to this people and say,
    You will keep on hearing[a] and will never understand,
and you will keep on seeing[b] and will never perceive.
27     For the heart of this people has become dull,
and with their[c] ears they hear with difficulty,
    and they have shut their eyes,
lest they see with their[d] eyes,
    and hear with their[e] ears,
    and understand with their[f] heart,
and turn, and I would heal them.”’[g]

28 Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles. They also will listen!”[h]
