"For the heart of this city/people has been (has become) hardened, they have deafened their ears and have closed their eyes, so that they do not see with their eyes, neither hear with their ears, nor understand with their heart, nor (have any) regret nor are they pardoned."
The text of Peshitta appears to show that this is something that has already taken place to the people/city, whereas the Hebrew of the Masoretic text indicates this is almost like a petition to God in order to make this happen to the people/city.
