      ar ier wid dem iez dem
      an andastan wid dem main,
      an ton we fram wa rang, an mi wuda iil dem.’
      For this people's heart has grown dull,
      and with their ears they can barely hear,
      and their eyes they have closed;
      lest they should see with their eyes
      and hear with their ears
      and understand with their heart
      and turn, and I would heal them.'
