Acts 28:26-27

Context
28:26 when he said,

Go to this people and say,

You will keep on hearing, 1  but will never understand,

and you will keep on looking, 2  but will never perceive.

28:27 For the heart of this people has become dull, 3 

and their ears are hard of hearing, 4 

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

and turn, 5  and I would heal them.”’ 6
