Other translations of verse 15

they would still say, “Our eyes have been dazzled; rather, we have been bewitched.”

They would surely say (in the evening): "Our eyes have been (as if) dazzled (we have not seen any angel or heaven). Nay, we are a people bewitched."

They would say: Our sight is wrong - nay, but we are folk bewitched.

They would only say: "Our eyes have been intoxicated: Nay, we have been bewitched by sorcery."

They would certainly say: Only our eyes have been covered over, rather we are an enchanted people.

They would indeed say, "Surely it is only that our be holdings (i.e., eyesights) are stupefied; no indeed, we are a people bewitched!"
