⁸ According as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day."

⁴ but Yahweh has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.

¹⁰ For Yahweh has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and your heads, the seers, has he covered.

²¹ Hear now this, foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes, and don't see; who have ears, and don't hear:

¹⁴ But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.

¹³ Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don't see, and hearing, they don't hear, neither do they understand.
