It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out.But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.The intentions of a man’s heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out.And He replied: “Go and tell this people, ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’
