Isaiah 42:23
Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
Who among you will give ear to this?.... To this prophecy of your destruction, and to what follows concerning it:
who will hearken and hear for the time to come? and receive instruction from hence, and repent and reform? none at all; so blind, and deaf, and stupid, were they both before, and at their destruction, and even ever since; they take no notice of the hand of God upon them, nor hearken to the rod, any more than to the word of God; which seems to be what is meant by "the time to come", or "hereafter"; and this will be their case till the veil is taken away, and then they shall see and hear, and turn to the Lord.
