Isaiah 6:9-11

International Children’s Bible

‘You will listen and listen, but you will not understand.
    You will look and look, but you will not learn.’
¹⁰ Make these people stubborn.
    Make them not able to understand what they hear and see.
Otherwise, they might really understand
    what they see with their eyes
    and hear with their ears.
They might really understand in their minds.
    If they did this, they would come back to me and be forgiven.”

“Do this until the cities are destroyed
    and the people are gone.
Do this until there are no people left living in the houses.
    Do this until the land is destroyed and left empty.
