⁵ And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

¹⁰ And having looked round on them all, he said to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

²⁶ be angry and do not sin; let not the sun go down upon your wrath,

¹⁸ being darkened in the understanding, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart,

²⁵ For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this secret -- that ye may not be wise in your own conceits -- that hardness in part to Israel hath happened till the fulness of the nations may come in;

¹³ Then saith he to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand,' and he stretched `it' forth, and it was restored whole as the other.

⁷ What then? What Israel doth seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened,

⁸ according as it hath been written, `God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,' -- unto this very day,

⁹ and David saith, `Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to them;

¹⁰ let their eyes be darkened -- not to behold, and their back do Thou always bow down.'

¹⁴ but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn -- which in Christ is being made useless --

³⁰ and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption.

¹⁰ wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways;

¹⁷ but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

⁹ and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,'

⁷ `Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

⁸ Jesus saith to him, `Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;'

⁹ and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,

⁴⁰ and he answering said to them, `I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!'

⁴¹ And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over it,

⁴² saying -- `If thou didst know, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from thine eyes.

⁴³ `Because days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast around thee a rampart, and compass thee round, and press thee on every side,

⁴⁴ and lay thee low, and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou didst not know the time of thy inspection.'

¹⁶ And they turn aside the gods of the stranger out of their midst, and serve Jehovah, and His soul is grieved with the misery of Israel.

⁶ And the king answereth and saith unto the man of God, `Appease, I pray thee, the face of Jehovah thy God, and pray for me, and my hand doth come back unto me;' and the man of God appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and the hand of the king cometh back unto him, and it is as at the beginning.

⁸ and it is very displeasing to me, and I cast all the vessels of the house of Tobiah without, out of the chamber,

¹⁰ Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, `A people erring in heart -- they! And they have not known My ways:'

⁹ And He saith, `Go, and thou hast said to this people, Hear ye -- to hear, and ye do not understand, And see ye -- to see, and ye do not know.

¹⁰ Declare fat the heart of this people, And its ears declare heavy, And its eyes declare dazzled, Lest it see with its eyes, And with its ears hear, and its heart consider, And it hath turned back, and hath health.'

¹⁸ Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look to see.

¹⁹ Who `is' blind but My servant? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who `is' blind as he who is at peace, Yea, blind, as the servant of Jehovah?

²⁰ Seeing many things, and thou observest not, Opening ears, and he heareth not.

¹⁸ They have not known, nor do they understand, For He hath daubed their eyes from seeing, Their heart from acting wisely.

¹⁹ And none doth turn `it' back unto his heart, Nor hath knowledge nor understanding to say, `Half of it I have burned in the fire, Yea, also, I have baked bread over its coals, I roast flesh and I eat, And its remnant for an abomination I make, To the stock of a tree I fall down.'

²⁰ Feeding on ashes, the heart is deceived, It hath turned him aside, And he delivereth not his soul, nor saith: `Is there not a lie in my right hand?'

⁹ In all their distress `He is' no adversary, And the messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth them all the days of old.

¹⁰ And they have rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, And He turneth to them for an enemy, He Himself hath fought against them.

¹⁴ and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah, that saith, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive,

¹⁵ for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal them.

¹⁵ Then the Lord answered him and said, `Hypocrite, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall, and having led away, doth water `it'?

¹⁴ and having seen `them', he said to them, `Having gone on, shew yourselves to the priests;' and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,

⁶ and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself -- unto His heart.
