Matthew 13:13-15 So I speak to them in parables: because in observing, they observe not; and hearing, they hear not; and they comprehend not.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ So I speak to them in parables: because in observing, they observe not; and hearing, they hear not; and they comprehend not. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled/shalamed the prophecy of Yesha Yah - which words, By hearing you hear, and no way comprehend; - and by observing you observe, and no way perceive: ¹⁵ for this people callous their heart and dull their ears from hearing and shut their eyes - lest ever they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and comprehend with their heart and turn around; and I heal them. ^{Isaiah 6:9,10}
