וְהַכְּלָבִים עַזֵּי-נֶפֶשׁ לֹא יָֽדְעוּ שָׂבְעָה וְהֵמָּה רֹעִים לֹא יָדְעוּ הָבִין כֻּלָּם לְדַרְכָּם פָּנוּ אִישׁ לְבִצְעוֹ מִקָּצֵֽהוּ׃
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
אַנְשֵׁי-רָע לֹא-יָבִינוּ מִשְׁפָּט וּמְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָה יָבִינוּ כֹֽל׃
Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
לֹא יָֽדְעוּ׀ וְלֹא יָבִינוּ בַּחֲשֵׁכָה יִתְהַלָּכוּ יִמּוֹטוּ כָּל-מוֹסְדֵי אָֽרֶץ׃
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בְמִצְרַיִם׀ לֹא-הִשְׂכִּילוּ נִפְלְאוֹתֶיךָ לֹא זָכְרוּ אֶת-רֹב חֲסָדֶיךָ וַיַּמְרוּ עַל-יָם בְּיַם-סֽוּף׃
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
Ταῦτα ἐν παροιμίαις λελάληκα ὑμῖν· ἀλλ' ἔρχεται ὥρα ὅτε οὐκ ἔτι ἐν παροιμίαις λαλήσω ὑμῖν ἀλλὰ παῤῥησίᾳ περὶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν
These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no unto more speak you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
וַיֹּאמֶר לֵךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ לָעָם הַזֶּה שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֹעַ וְאַל-תָּבִינוּ וּרְאוּ רָאוֹ וְאַל-תֵּדָֽעוּ׃
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Συνήκατε ταῦτα πάντα λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Ναί κύριε
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
יִתְבָּֽרֲרוּ וְיִֽתְלַבְּנוּ וְיִצָּֽרְפוּ רַבִּים וְהִרְשִׁיעוּ רְשָׁעִים וְלֹא יָבִינוּ כָּל-רְשָׁעִים וְהַמַּשְׂכִּלִים יָבִֽינוּ׃
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
ψυχικὸς δὲ ἄνθρωπος οὐ δέχεται τὰ τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ θεοῦ μωρία γὰρ αὐτῷ ἐστιν καὶ οὐ δύναται γνῶναι ὅτι πνευματικῶς ἀνακρίνεται·
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Ἐμάχοντο οὖν πρὸς ἀλλήλους οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι λέγοντες Πῶς δύναται οὗτος ἡμῖν δοῦναι τὴν σάρκα φαγεῖν
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
διατί τὴν λαλιὰν τὴν ἐμὴν οὐ γινώσκετε; ὅτι οὐ δύνασθε ἀκούειν τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐμόν.
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Πολλοὶ οὖν ἀκούσαντες ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ εἶπον Σκληρός ἐστιν οὗτος· ὁ λόγος τίς δύναται αὐτοῦ ἀκούειν
Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἥκει καὶ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν διάνοιαν ἵνα γινώσκωμεν τὸν ἀληθινόν καὶ ἐσμεν ἐν τῷ ἀληθινῷ ἐν τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἀληθινὸς Θεός καὶ ἡ ζωὴ αἰώνιος.
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
τίς ἐστιν οὗτος ὁ λόγος ὃν εἶπεν Ζητήσετέ με καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετέ καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν
What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῖς ἔλεγεν
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
διὰ τοῦτο ἐν παραβολαῖς αὐτοῖς λαλῶ ὅτι βλέποντες οὐ βλέπουσιν καὶ ἀκούοντες οὐκ ἀκούουσιν οὐδὲ συνίουσιν
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
