The New Testament (Matthew 13:14--15) cites the passage under discussion as "proof" that the Jews are cursed from recognizing Jesus as the Messiah.Matthew 13:14 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:
Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
Just because a prophecy is fulfilled does not mean the people involved will believe.
