3 But rI will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I smultiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a yrespite, he zhardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the Lord had said.
32 But Pharaoh ohardened his heart this time also, and did not let the people go.
2 But if you orefuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with pfrogs.

d“‘Keep on hearing,1 but do not understand;
keep on seeing,2 but do not perceive.’
10 eMake the heart of this people fdull,3
and their ears heavy,
and blind their eyes;

and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”

v“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
27 wFor this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and xturn, and I would heal them.’
