40He has blindedae their eyes

and hardened their hearts,af

so that they would not see with their eyes

or understand with their hearts,

and turn,ag

and I would heal them.Eah

41Isaiah said these things becauseF he saw his gloryai and spoke about him.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said,

“He has blinded their eyes

and hardened their heart,

lest they see with their eyes,

and understand with their heart, and turn,

and I would heal them.”

Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:

“He has blinded their eyes

and hardened their hearts,

so they can neither see with their eyes,

nor understand with their hearts,

nor turn—and I would heal them.”

Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him.

NLTNew Living Translation

But the people couldn’t believe, for as Isaiah also said,

“The Lord has blinded their eyes

and hardened their hearts—

so that their eyes cannot see,

and their hearts cannot understand,

and they cannot turn to me

and have me heal them.”

Isaiah was referring to Jesus when he said this, because he saw the future and spoke of the Messiah’s glory.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

For this reason they were not able to believe, because again Isaiah said,

“He has blinded their eyes

and hardened their hearts,

lest they see with their eyes

and understand with their hearts

and turn, and I heal them.”

Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and he spoke about him.

KJV 1900King James Version

Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
