For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
Open English Bible (OEB)English
for the mind of this nation has grown dense, and their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes also have they closed; Otherwise some day they might perceive with their eyes, and with their ears they might hear, and in their mind they might understand, and might turn — and I might heal them.’
Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
denn das Herz dieses Volkes ist dick geworden, und mit den Ohren haben sie schwer gehört, und ihre Augen haben sie geschlossen, damit sie nicht etwa mit den Augen sehen und mit den Ohren hören und mit dem Herzen verstehen und sich bekehren, und ich sie heile."
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Porque el corazón de este pueblo está engrosado, y de los oídos oyen pesadamente, y de sus ojos guiñan: para que no vean de los ojos, y oigan de los oídos, y del corazón entiendan, y se conviertan, y yo los sane.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Porque o coração deste povo está insensível; Com seus ouvidos dificilmente ouvem, e seus olhos fecharam; A fim de não haver que seus olhos vejam, seus ouvidos ouçam, Seus corações entendam, e se arrependam, E eu os cure.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Porque o coração deste povo tornou-se insensível, e ouviram com má vontade, e fecharam seus olhos; se assim não fosse, eles perceberiam com seus olhos, ouviriam com seus ouvidos, entenderiam com seus corações, e se arrependeriam, e Eu os curaria'.
