28:27For the heart of this people has become dull,88
and their ears are hard of hearing,89
and they have closed their eyes,
so that they would not see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
Footnotes
- 88 Or “insensitive.” The heart of this people has become dull. The charge from Isaiah is like Stephen’s against the Jews of Jerusalem (Acts 7:51–53). They were a hard-hearted and disobedient people.
- 89 Grk “they hear heavily with their ears” (an idiom for slow comprehension).
- 90 Note how the failure to respond to the message of the gospel is seen as a failure to turn.
- 91 A quotation from Isa 6:9–10.

For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and turn, and I would heal them.’

For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’

For the hearts of these people

and I would heal them.

For the hearts of these people are hardened,

so their eyes cannot see,
and their ears cannot hear,
and their hearts cannot understand,
and they cannot turn to me
and let me heal them.’
