(12) so that,WHILE SEEING, THEY MIGHT SEE AND NOT SEE AND WHILE HEARING, THEY MIGHT HEAR AND NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT TRULY RETURN AND THEY WOULD BE FORGIVEN.

The F.O.G Message *

[12] This fulfills the prophet's words: 'They look but don't see, listen but don't understand. If they did, they would turn to God and be forgiven'—showing how spiritual understanding requires more than just physical senses."

Young's Literal Translation

that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest they may turn, and the sins may be forgiven them.’
