Matthew 13:15
For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Study Note
Matthew's citation of Isaiah 6:9-10 interprets the hardening of hearts not as divine arbitrariness but as the prophetically anticipated consequence of sustained refusal — the people 'have closed their eyes' (active voice) to resist seeing. Isaiah received this commission at his call-vision, and Matthew applies it to Jesus' parabolic ministry as the new Isaianic moment of judgment and concealment. John 12:40 cites the same text with a divine-passive ('he hath blinded'), raising the exegetical question of whether hardening is reactive or proactive. The verse became foundational for later discussions of divine hardening, prevenient grace, and the mystery of unbelief in both Reformed and Arminian theology.

For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal them.
For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well.
