15These people do not want to understand.
They are like people who have shut their ears.
They are like people who have shut their eyes.
If they did want to look,
then they would really see.
If they did want to listen,
then they would really hear.
They would understand my message.
They would turn back to obey me.
Then I would forgive them
and I would make them well.” ’
