“^(A)Render the hearts of this people ^(a)^(B)insensitive,
Their ears ^(b)dull,
And their eyes ^(c)dim,
^(C)Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed.”

Houses are without people
And the land is utterly desolate,

And the ^(d)^(G)forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
