 Jesus finishes quoting the prophet Isaiah.
 
-# For this people's heart ... I would heal them
+# For the heart of this people ... I would heal them
 
 God describes the people of Israel as if they had physical diseases that cause them to be unable to learn, to see, and to hear. God wants them to come to him so he will heal them. This is all a metaphor describing the people's spiritual condition. It means the people are stubborn and refuse to receive and understand God's truth. If they would, then they would repent and God would forgive them and welcome them back as his people. If the meaning is clear, keep the metaphor in your translation. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
 
-# this people's heart has become dull
+# the heart of this people has become dull
 
 Here "heart" refers to the mind. Alternate translation: "these people's minds are slow to learn" or "these people can no longer learn" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
 
-# they are hard of hearing
+# with their ears they hardly hear
 
-They are not physically deaf. Here "hard of hearing" means they refuse to listen and learn God's truth. Alternate translation: "they refuse to use their ears to listen" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

-"so that they are not able to see with their eyes, hear with their ears, or understand with their heart, and as a result turn again"
+The word "heart" here is a metonym for people's innermost being. You may need to use the word in your language for the source of people's thinking and feelings. Alternate translation: "understand with their minds" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
