41. ἴδετε, οἱ καταφρονηταί, behold, ye despisers. This the rendering of the LXX. and of some other versions. The Hebrew text gives, as A.V., ‘Behold, ye among the heathen.’ The LXX. either had, or thought they had, a different text.
ἔργον ὃ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε, a work which ye shall in no wise believe. It is the result of long-continued evil-doing that those who live in it grow incredulous and proof against all warnings. Their hearts are allowed to wax gross and their ears to become dull of hearing.
