Jeremiah 5:21

21  Hear this, iO foolish and senseless people,

jwho have eyes, but see not,

who have ears, but hear not.


Ezekiel 12:2

jSon of man, you dwell in the midst of ka rebellious house, lwho have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not, for they are ka rebellious house.


Isaiah 42:18–19

Israel’s Failure to Hear and See

18  Hear, you deaf,

and look, you blind, that you may see!

19  Who is blind but my servant,

or deaf as my messenger whom I send?

Who is blind as my dedicated one,1

or blind as the servant of the Lord?


Isaiah 43:8

Bring out xthe people who are blind, yet have eyes,

who are deaf, yet have ears!


Matthew 13:13

13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because bseeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, cnor do they understand.
