‘Listen continually, but don’t understand!
Look continually, but don’t perceive!’
41:20 I will do this so 1 people 2 will observe and recognize,
so they will pay attention and understand
that the Lord’s power 3 has accomplished this,
and that the Holy One of Israel has brought it into being.” 4
55:13 Evergreens will grow in place of thorn bushes,
firs will grow in place of nettles;
they will be a monument to the Lord, 5
a permanent reminder that will remain. 6
