Strong's Number H995 matches the Hebrew בִּין (bîn),
which occurs 20 times in 20 verses in 'Isa'
in the WLC Hebrew.
“The ox knows its owner,
and the donkey its master’s feeding trough,
but Israel does not know;
my people do not understand.”
And he replied:
Go! Say to these people:
Keep listening, but do not understand;
keep looking, but do not perceive.
Make the minds[fn] of these people dull;
deafen their ears and blind their eyes;
otherwise they might see with their eyes
and hear with their ears,
understand with their minds,
turn back, and be healed.
For he said:
I have done this by my own strength
and wisdom, for I am clever.
I abolished the borders of nations
and plundered their treasures;
like a mighty warrior, I subjugated the inhabitants.[fn]
Those who see you will stare at you;
they will look closely at you:
“Is this the man who caused the earth to tremble,
who shook the kingdoms,
Every time it passes through,
it will carry you away;
it will pass through every morning —
every day and every night.
Only terror will cause you
to understand the message.[fn]
Therefore, I will again confound these people
with wonder after wonder.
The wisdom of their wise will vanish,
and the perception of their perceptive will be hidden.
You have turned things around,
as if the potter were the same as the clay.
How can what is made say about its maker,
“He didn’t make me”?
How can what is formed
say about the one who formed it,
“He doesn’t understand what he’s doing”?
The reckless mind will gain knowledge,
and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.
Who did he consult?
Who gave him understanding
and taught him the paths of justice?
Who taught him knowledge
and showed him the way of understanding?
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been declared to you
from the beginning?
Have you not considered
the foundations of the earth?
“You are my witnesses” —
this is the LORD’s declaration —
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
No god was formed before me,
and there will be none after me.
so he will sprinkle many nations.[fn]
Kings will shut their mouths because of him,
for they will see what had not been told them,
and they will understand what they had not heard.
These dogs have fierce appetites;
they never have enough.
And they are shepherds
who have no discernment;
all of them turn to their own way,
every last one for his own profit.
