Acts 28:27

For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

For {G1063} the heart {G2588} of this {G5127} people {G2992} is waxed gross {G3975}, and {G2532} their ears {G3775} are dull {G917} of hearing {G191}, and {G2532} their {G846} eyes {G3788} have they closed {G2576}; lest {G3379} they should see {G1492} with their eyes {G3788}, and {G2532} hear {G191} with their ears {G3775}, and {G2532} understand {G4920} with their heart {G2588}, and {G2532} should be converted {G1994}, and {G2532} I should heal {G2390} them {G846}.

because the heart of this people has grown thick —
with their ears they barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed,
for fear that they should see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their heart,
and do t’shuvah,
so that I could heal them.”’

For this people’s heart has grown callous; 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 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.
