Commentary on Isaiah 6:9
God's commission is shocking: proclaim a message that will result in people hearing but not understanding, seeing but not perceiving. This judicial hardening represents God's judgment on persistent rejection—He confirms people in their chosen path. Jesus quotes this passage explaining why He taught in parables (Matthew 13:14-15), and Paul applies it to Jewish rejection of the gospel (Acts 28:26-27). God's Word either softens or hardens hearts.
