Then I said, Here am I; send me. 9 And He said, Go and tell this people, You hear indeed, but do not understand; and you see indeed, but do not perceive. 10 Make the heart of this people dull, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and healed. 11 Then I said, Lord, how long?
