Make the heart of this people fat, 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 convert, and be healed.

The verse 10 is found in chapter 6 of Isaiah. Isaiah’s vision in the temple introduces the concept of Yahweh’s absolute holiness. Before the vision, the prophet recognizes his own impurity and that of his people; the coal taken from the altar symbolizes purification before the mission. When Isaiah responds, “Here am I,” prophetic calling becomes linked to an experience of grace and to proclaiming a message that will encounter resistance.

Verstocke das Herz dieses Volkes und laß ihre Ohren hart sein und blende ihre Augen, daß sie nicht sehen mit ihren Augen noch hören mit ihren Ohren noch verstehen mit ihrem Herzen und sich bekehren und genesen.
Engruesa el corazón de aqueste pueblo, y agrava sus oídos, y ciega sus ojos; porque no vea con sus ojos, ni oiga con sus oídos, ni su corazón entienda, ni se convierta, y haya para él sanidad.
Haz insensible el corazón de este pueblo, endurece sus oídos y cierra sus ojos, no sea que vea con sus ojos, oiga con sus oídos, entienda con su corazón, se vuelva y sea sanado».
Rends insensible le coeur de ce peuple, Endurcis ses oreilles, et bouche-lui les yeux, Pour qu'il ne voie point de ses yeux, n'entende point de ses oreilles, Ne comprenne point de son coeur, Ne se convertisse point et ne soit point guéri.
Ingrassa il cuore di questo popolo, ed aggravagli le orecchie, e turagli gli occhi; acciocchè non vegga co’ suoi occhi, e non oda colle sue orecchie, e non intenda col suo cuore; e ch’egli non si converta, e che Iddio non lo guarisca.
Engorda o coração deste povo, e faze-lhe pesados os ouvidos, e fecha-lhe os olhos; para que ele não veja com os seus olhos, e não ouça com os seus ouvidos, nem entenda com o seu coração, nem se converta e seja sarado.
要使這百姓心蒙油脂, 耳朵發沉, 眼睛昏花; 恐怕他們眼睛看見, 耳朵聽見, 心裏明白, 回轉過來,就得醫治。」
