Exegesis
The first clause, akoe akousete kai ou me synete {Ἀκοῇ ἀκούσετε καὶ οὐ μὴ συνῆτε | A-ko-ḗ a-koú-se-te kaí ou mḕ sy-nê-te}, employs a cognate construction (noun akoe with verb akousete) to intensify the idea of continual hearing, followed by the emphatic negation ou me plus the aorist subjunctive synete, expressing a certain failure to arrive at understanding.
In context — Acts 28:26
Saying, “Go to this people and say, ‘In hearing you will hear and yet by no means understand; and seeing you will see and yet by no means perceive .’”
