Acts 28:26-28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
26 ‘Go to this people and say,
You will indeed listen but never understand,
and you will indeed look but never perceive.
27 For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have shut their eyes;
otherwise they might look with their eyes
and listen with their ears
and understand with their heart and turn—
and I would heal them.’
28 “Let it be known to you, then, that this salvation of God has been sent to the gentiles; they will listen.”[a]

“You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”

understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a](B)
