Isaiah 6:9

And he said, go, and tell this people ,.... What is and will be their case and condition, as follows:

hear ye indeed ; the words of the prophets sent unto them, yea, Christ himself incarnate preaching among them; the great Prophet Moses said should be raised up unto them:

but understand not ; neither that he is the Messiah, nor the doctrines delivered by him; which were spoken to them in parables; see Matthew 13:13 ,

and see ye indeed : the miracles wrought by him, as raising the dead, cleansing the lepers, restoring sight to the blind, causing the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak:

but perceive not ; that he is the Messiah, though all the characteristics pointed at in prophecy are upon him, and such miracles are done by him.
