²⁶ “Go and say to this people,
    ‘You will listen and listen. But you will not understand.
    You will look and look. But you will not see anything.’
²⁷ These people do not really want to understand.
    They are like people who have shut their ears.
    They are like people who have shut their eyes.
    If they did want to look, then they would really see.
    If they did want to listen, then they would really hear.
    They would understand my message.
    They would turn back to me and they would obey me.
    Then I would forgive them and I would make them well.” ’
